Samena Capital Marks Fifth Anniversary

Dubai, 22 April 2013 – Samena Capital, the principal investment group focused on investments across multiple asset classes in the subcontinent, Asia, Middle East & North Africa, today announces the official opening of its DFSA-regulated office in Dubai to coincide with fifth anniversary celebrations for the firm. The bespoke – designed office is located in the prestigious Dubai International Financial Centre.

Commenting on the office opening, V-Nee YEH, Chairman of Samena Capital said, “Over the last five years we have built a significant investment institution at Samena Capital. Through challenging markets we have consistently delivered strong returns to our investors by combining the investment acumen of the team with the differentiated market access and business networks of our strategic shareholders and partners in the SAMENA markets.” “A characteristic of the firm’s success has been our ability to match capital in one region with an opportunity in another, while also driving value-accretive change at our portfolio companies by introducing them to new customers, markets and technologies. It is logical as we reach our fifth anniversary that we establish a permanent presence in Dubai, one of the world’s most important financial centres at the heart of one of Samena Capital’s key regions, the Middle East,” continued Mr YEH.
