Dubai – Sharikat Mubasher: BlueFive Capital, a newly formed GCC-based investment platform with a global outlook, successfully closed its Founding Shareholders Circle round at a $120 million valuation. The oversubscribed round was finalized in under six months, reflecting strong investor confidence in the firm’s strategy and leadership.
According to a recent press release, the round drew participation from 25 institutions and family offices, including major GCC royal and merchant families as well as prominent financial figures from North America, Europe, and Asia. Due to high demand, the offering was expanded to include additional investors.
Launched in late 2024, BlueFive Capital already oversees more than $650 million in assets under management. The firm operates with a 27-member team across global hubs including London, Singapore, Riyadh, and Beijing.
Hazem Ben-Gacem, Founder and Chief Executive of BlueFive Capital, commented: “This overwhelming confidence from 25 blue-chip shareholders validates our team’s expertise and our strategy to disrupt the value chain in high-growth financial markets. The GCC is our launchpad, but our vision is hemispheric: connecting institutional-grade platforms to underserved capital markets driving the next wave of global prosperity."
Founded by Hazem Ben-Gacem, the former co-CEO of Investcorp, BlueFive aims to reshape access to capital across fast-growing markets. Its board is chaired by Sheikh Mohamed Bin Isa Al Khalifa, with Lord Gerry Grimstone and Sheikh Mubarak Al-Sabah serving as vice chairs.
