Driving Growth, Innovation & Transparency Across KSA Alternative Investments
The Saudi Alternatives Exchange (SAX) stands as the definitive Private Markets gathering in KSA. Designed specifically for the elite tier of the Private Equity, Private Credit, and Venture Capital community, SAX is where the region's most influential fund managers and institutional allocators converge.
This meticulously curated forum unites Saudi Arabia’s leading institutional capital allocators—including family offices, endowments, and corporate heavyweights—with a hand-picked selection of global and local fund managers. Transcending the noise of traditional conferences, SAX offers a distinct departure from the ordinary: a sanctuary for high-impact engagement. Through intimate, deep-dive boardroom sessions and precision-matched one-to-one meetings, we create an environment strictly focused on actionable alternative investment strategies.
Our core mission is to drive informed capital deployment. We facilitate a sophisticated dialogue that bridges the gap between Shari’a-compliant and conventional opportunities within KSA’s dynamic alternative investment scene.
SAX is the critical hub for those navigating the evolving Saudi landscape. It is the premier connection point for sophisticated allocators actively seeking high-quality opportunities in KSA and beyond.
"Everything—the incredible venue, the curated mix of attendees, the relevant subjects, and the perfect timing—was spot on. What truly sets SAX apart, however, is the format. It was strategically designed to allow for adequate, quality one-on-one interactions with the people I needed to meet."
Biswajit Dasgupta, Chief Investment Officer, Asas Capital
"SAX was beautifully curated and executed—the location, panelists, and topics were flawless. The high attendance reflected the energy and quality, leading to exceptional conversations all day. I've gained numerous invaluable relationships I will genuinely cherish."
Sara AlAteeqi, CEO, Al Mal Investment Company, Founder, The Wealth Edit
"The overall experience was excellent. The organisation and logistics were outstanding, and the venue and set-up were at a very high standard. I was genuinely impressed by the quality and diversity of the participants – the caliber of people in the room was exactly what you would hope for at a serious alternatives-focused gathering."
