Invest GB strengthens its strategic partnership with Ares for wealth management solutions

Gulf Capital Investment “Invest GP”, the investment arm of Gulf Bank, announced the strengthening of its strategic partnership with Ares Wealth Management Solutions, a global leader in alternative investments, with the aim of providing investment opportunities in the essential infrastructure sector to qualified clients in Kuwait.

Invest GP emphasized that infrastructure investments have become one of the most attractive asset classes for institutional and private capital. In an environment characterized by persistent inflation and market uncertainty, infrastructure assets offer long-term contractual cash flows. Infrastructure assets, including digital networks, energy facilities, transport corridors, and public utility systems, share common investment characteristics such as long-term operational sustainability and limited sensitivity to fluctuations in commodity prices, in addition to relying on a robust and flexible technological infrastructure that supports the sustainability of long-term returns.

In this regard, Nora Al-Sanea, Head of Alternative Investments at Invest GP, stated: “This collaboration with Ares embodies Invest GP’s commitment to enabling its clients to access elite global investment managers. While investment in essential infrastructure has traditionally been limited to institutions, this partnership opens the door for private wealth clients in Kuwait to benefit from an asset class that serves as a cornerstone of modern economies, thanks to its resilience, stable and long-term cash flows. This collaboration reflects Invest GP’s mission to connect our clients with the best investment opportunities worldwide.”

For his part, Mark Sirokold, Partner and Co-Head of International Wealth Management Solutions at Ares, said: “As Gulf region investors continue to increase their allocations to private markets, we are pleased to support their objectives by expanding access to our essential infrastructure strategy through an innovative solution. We are confident that Invest GP, as a trusted partner, has all the qualities needed to help enhance private market opportunities in Kuwait. We look forward to continuing this relationship and delivering long-term value to investors in the region.”
