JEDDAH — Alkhabeer Capital, the asset manager specializing in alternative investments, has been named one of the best workplaces in Saudi Arabia by the Great Place to Work Institute, ranking first amongst investment companies and eighth overall. The list which included 20 companies from various public and private sectors recognizes organizations in Saudi Arabia that are dedicated to sustaining high-trust cultures for their employees. 2018 is the seventh consecutive year that Alkhabeer Capital has earned a top ranking on the annual list.

Commenting on the ranking, Ahmed Ghouth, chief executive officer of Alkhabeer Capital, said: “One of our guiding principles at Alkhabeer Capital is to ensure that our teams don’t just feel that they are part of the company. Rather, we want them to understand that they are the company.

In June 2017, Alkhabeer Capital was ranked sixth by Great Place to Work under the Best Small & Medium Workplaces category for the “Best Workplaces in Asia 2017” list from amongst 1,400 companies across nine Asia-region countries.

The company’s recent accolades also include winning the Best Islamic Investment Fund award by CPI’s Islamic Business & Finance magazine, along with the Best Private Equity Company in Saudi Arabia by CPI’s Banker Middle East magazine earlier this year.
