The first investments have been made in partnership with regional fintech platforms Lendo and JeelPay, reflecting the fund’s focus on high-quality, growth-oriented credit opportunities. Jadwa said two additional investments are expected to close during the first half of 2026, signalling a strong near-term deployment pipeline.
