Background

Abdulmohsen Ibrahim Altouq was born in January 1974 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and has built a distinguished career in finance and investment management spanning nearly three decades. He graduated from King Saud University in 1995 with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, majoring in Finance. Following his education, Altouq gained valuable international and domestic banking experience, working at Credit Agricole Indosuez in Geneva, Switzerland, and HSBC in Riyadh. These early experiences in global banking gave him exposure to sophisticated financial markets and investment strategies across different jurisdictions.

In 1998, at the age of 24, Altouq assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of the AlTouq Group, his family's investment office that was originally established in the 1970s as an investment vehicle for the AlTouq family. Under his leadership for over 26 years, he has transformed the family office into what industry observers describe as a "sophisticated and transparent" institutional-caliber investor with a global footprint. He manages a diversified investment portfolio spanning multiple asset classes, including private equity, public equity, real estate, and direct investments across Asia, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Europe, and the Americas.

Beyond the family office, Altouq holds significant leadership positions across major Saudi Arabian institutions. He serves as Deputy Chairman at Arab National Bank, one of Saudi Arabia's leading financial institutions. He is Chairman of Dar Al Tamleek Co., a major mortgage company in Saudi Arabia, and Chairman of Saudi Metal Packing Co. (also known as Steel Products Company), where the AlTouq family were founding shareholders. He also serves as a Board Member at Saudi Fransi Capital and MetLife AIG ANB Cooperative Insurance Co., and has held the position of Chairman at Saudi Networkers. These roles demonstrate his deep integration into the Saudi business ecosystem and his influence across finance, real estate, manufacturing, and insurance sectors.

Altouq's investment approach reflects a combination of institutional discipline inherited from his banking background and the long-term orientation typical of successful family offices. His leadership has positioned AlTouq Group as one of the notable single-family offices in the Middle East region, recognized for its diversified global strategy and professional management structure.

Investment Thesis & Focus

AlTouq Group operates with a highly diversified, multi-stage investment strategy that spans both traditional and alternative asset classes. The family office's approach is characterized by its global geographic reach and flexibility across investment stages, from seed-stage startups to mature buyouts and distressed situations. This breadth allows AlTouq Group to capture opportunities across different market cycles and risk-return profiles.

Investment Strategy: The core of AlTouq Group's strategy is to invest with top-tier global private equity fund managers in Europe, North America, South America, and Asia who have established track records. The firm focuses on fund commitments in growth equity, mezzanine finance, leveraged buyouts (LBO), and distressed buyout strategies. This fund-of-funds approach allows the family office to access institutional-quality deal flow while diversifying risk across managers, geographies, and strategies.

In addition to fund commitments, AlTouq Group makes direct investments in startups and companies, particularly in the MENA region. Their direct investment stage focus includes Seed, Early-Stage, Growth, Late-Stage, Buyouts, Turnarounds, and Distressed assets. This multi-stage approach enables the firm to adapt to diverse market conditions and identify value across the company lifecycle.

Sector Focus: AlTouq Group's sector preferences are broad and include:

Geographic Focus: While the family office has global exposure through fund commitments, direct investments are primarily concentrated in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Pakistan, reflecting strategic interests and regional expertise in the Middle East and South Asia markets.

Value Proposition: As a family office with deep roots in Saudi Arabia's business community, AlTouq Group offers portfolio companies access to regional networks, strategic introductions across multiple industries, and patient capital with a long-term investment horizon. The firm's connections across banking, real estate, manufacturing, and insurance sectors provide value-add opportunities for portfolio companies seeking to expand in the Middle East market.
