The Capital Market Authority reported SAR 1.365 tn in assets under management in Q2 2026. Larger portfolios leave less room to hide a weak asset, so managers need a trusted baseline for each holding.

The Capital Market Authority reports credit based private funds are up 60% since the end of 2024. With more capital chasing the same borrowers, investors should ask managers to show how pricing was reached, loan by loan. #PrivateCredit #SaudiArabia

CMA data shows real estate funds hold 54.3% of Saudi private fund assets. The room for growth is in family businesses, and owners should set out a trusted baseline of their accounts before approaching any investor. #SaudiArabia #PrivateEquity

A SAR 20 mn contract does not necessarily support SAR 20 mn of borrowing. Lenders should advance against verified milestones and model costs to completion, margins, payment delays, retentions and penalties.

Capacity growth shows demand exists, not that a particular Saudi data centre will fill. Ask for the contracted megawatts, contract length, customer credit quality and termination rights. Backing alone is not a lease. #DataCentres #SaudiArabia

Saudi lenders should design for restructuring at the start of due diligence. Once a borrower asks for more time, the options are set by the contracts, promissory notes and guarantees already signed. #PrivateDebt #Restructuring
