BlueFive Capital last week hosted its inaugural Shareholder Summit, bringing together the firm’s foundational partners who supported its vision from the outset. The gathering took place in Riyadh, highlighting the Kingdom’s growing role as a regional and global investment hub.
The Summit opened with an exclusive tour of historic Diriyah, offering shareholders a cultural immersion into one of Saudi Arabia’s most significant heritage sites. The evening continued with a private dinner hosted by His Highness Prince Turki bin Abdulaziz Bin Farhan Al Saud, reflecting the strong regional relationships BlueFive Capital is cultivating.
A highlight of the event was a keynote session by Devin Nunes, Chairman of the US President’s Intelligence Advisory Board and Chief Executive Officer of Truth Social. Nunes shared perspectives on US domestic and foreign policy, offering insights into how the United States is approaching its engagement with the wider world amid evolving geopolitical and economic conditions.
During the Summit, Hazem Ben Gacem, Chief Executive Officer of BlueFive Capital, addressed shareholders on the firm’s progress and ambitions. He noted that the inaugural year in 2025 marked a transition from vision to execution, supported by the confidence of founding shareholders and a high-calibre investment and operations team. He emphasized that this collective effort is shaping BlueFive Capital into a highly connected, creative and fast-growing alternative asset manager in the Middle East, with distinctive access and engagement across the GCC and many parts of the Global South. He added that the firm is steadily establishing its voice and standing, with a focus on allowing performance and results to define its reputation.
The following morning, shareholders convened for an in-depth strategic session focused on BlueFive Capital’s vision and roadmap. The leadership team reviewed the firm’s first-year journey, from investment thesis to execution, and outlined the priority areas that will guide growth and strategic direction in 2026.
The Summit concluded with thanks to shareholders for their continued trust and partnership, marking an important milestone in BlueFive Capital’s ongoing journey.
