Our name Senwan in classical Arabic means a tree with many trunks but one root. It symbolizes unity in diversity, shared origin and strength through interconnectedness.
Our mission is to protect and grow wealth in harmony with the family’s values. Guided by ethical principles and a disciplined approach, we follow a defined long-term strategic asset allocation, investment and operational governance policies, pre-established benchmarks, and risk budgets for our liquid portfolio —all upheld by world-class standards.
Built on excellence, transparency, integrity, and strategic relationships, we ensure that decisions are evidence-backed, and risks are carefully considered and integrated into the portfolio. Every decision we make is focused on preserving prosperity today and building a legacy of generational wealth for tomorrow.
At Senwan, our investment strategy is rooted in a foundation of best-in-class governance, well-designed strategic asset allocation, and clear benchmarks that guide every decision. We expertly manage a diverse multi-asset portfolio, blending both liquid and private funds. Each investment is carefully selected to maximize risk-adjusted returns while minimizing exposure to significant tail risks, ensuring a balanced and resilient portfolio.
Liquid Funds – We invest alongside leading global managers in a range of asset classes, including global public equity (both passive and enhanced-passive mandates), REITs, listed infrastructure, fixed income (Sukuks), and short-term money market funds.
Private Funds – To diversify the portfolio and tap into alternative alpha sources, we invest in private asset funds, including Private Equity (VC, Growth, and LBOs) and Real Assets (Real Estate, Infrastructure, and Natural Resources such as Timber, Agriculture, and Mining).
Senwan diversifies globally across regions and asset types to capture opportunities and drive long-term value.
Senwan is laying the groundwork for advanced data-driven systems to provide actionable insights across all asset classes. Our robust platform for real-time analytics will enhance decision-making, ensure transparency, and adapt strategies to future market opportunities.
As technologies like AI, Blockchain, and Tokenization disrupt many industries as well as finance, Senwan is positioning itself at the forefront, ready to embrace these changes with the necessary resources and capabilities.
