Overview
Al Blagha Group describes itself as a family-owned group founded in Riyadh in 1990 by Sheikh Ahmed Hamdan Albalwi. It runs four verticals from one balance sheet: Tamasuk Holding (public-private partnership infrastructure such as sewage treatment plants, NEOM residential communities and Al Ansar Hospital), Rawasi Albehar (maritime), Al Woroud (real estate) and Quantum Switch Tamasuk (data centres). ABG Investments holds what sits outside the verticals: the group's stake in the Alexandria International Container Terminal (a joint venture with Hutchison Ports, operating since 2005), fund commitments and financial investments managed under a group investment committee.
Investment thesis
Preserve the family legacy as responsible stewards of capital; hold positions for the long term through operations, with the board setting investment policy and risk appetite.
