Our investment team provides regular commentary on macro trends, geopolitical shifts, sector dynamics, and portfolio positioning across Bloomberg, CNBC, and regional financial media.
Rashmi Garg discussed the macro backdrop around the Fed, inflation, AI infrastructure, rare earths, and the impact of changing U.S.–China trade dynamics. She emphasized that the market’s best opportunities often lie in the logistics, connectivity, and energy infrastructure necessary to support AI rather than in speculative capex stories alone.
Rashmi Garg shared views on U.S. equities, valuations, and the risks of prolonged inflation. She argued that investors should remain selective and focus on businesses with durable earnings power and a clear path to monetization, particularly in semiconductors, communications infrastructure, and power.
Nabil Sleiman and Rashmi Garg provided perspectives on central bank policy, credit conditions, regional banks, the AI buildout, and the broader opportunities and risks across global equities.
ALDHAB VENTURES is pleased to announce the formation of Al Dhabi Capital Global Shariah Fund (OEIC) Ltd, a Shariah-compliant exempt fund designed for professional investors seeking disciplined access to regional and global capital markets under robust Shariah governance.
The fund is domiciled in the Abu Dhabi Global Market and structured under ADGM’s internationally recognized regulatory framework, with a dedicated Shariah governance model, periodic review, and a portfolio approach centered on long-term value creation and capital appreciation.
U.S. equities and technology: A constructive long-term view remains intact as AI demand, strong earnings growth, and innovation continue to support the market. The team remains more positive on semiconductor suppliers, optical networking, power infrastructure, and memory rather than pure AI capex spenders.
Geopolitics and inflation: The team monitors U.S.–China tensions, trade policy, energy price pressures, and the Fed’s independence closely. Any prolonged conflict or persistent inflation shock can alter the path of rates and therefore market valuation.
Regional opportunities: While U.S. exceptionalism remains powerful, the team continues to monitor opportunities outside the U.S., including Europe, China, Japan, India, and select MENA themes where valuation and growth expectations can be more favorable.
MENA Equity Strategy: 361.04% cumulative return since inception versus 119.33% for the S&P Pan Arab Index.
Global Long/Short Strategy: 137.68% cumulative return since inception versus 102.12% for the MSCI World Index.
Risk emphasis: The team remains focused on risk management, valuation discipline, and liquidity, with an objective of preserving capital while still capturing high-quality opportunities over the medium and long term.
