Riyadh, KSA

For Institutional Allocators and Fund Managers Deploying Capital in and out of the Kingdom

Saudi Arabia's private markets landscape is evolving at a pace that rewards those with the right intelligence, the right relationships and the right room to have the conversations that matter. SIX provides that room.

We bring together over 200 senior institutional investors, family offices, sovereign-linked entities and investment managers who are deploying capital across private equity, venture capital, real assets, private credit and infrastructure in the Kingdom and beyond.

Built around private think tanks, intimate boardrooms and pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings alongside a main stage of the Kingdom's most influential investors and fund managers, SIX enables allocators and managers to interrogate the real opportunities in Saudi private markets, navigate the complexities of deploying capital in a rapidly evolving landscape, and build the relationships required to act on them.

The SIX Difference

Behind them is a black backdrop with the words 'Saudi Alternative Exchange' in English and Arabic, and various logos.

KSA’s Highest LP to GP Ratio

We maintain a strict ratio of LPs to GPs and cap total attendance. Every participant is reviewed before they receive a place. The practical result is that whoever you sit next to at lunch, share a boardroom with, or meet one-to-one in the Majlis is a senior principal with a relevant mandate; because at SIX, seniority is the standard, not the exception.

A Saudi Agenda Built by the Network, for the Network

Before we write a single session, we conduct in-depth research interviews across the ME-IN community. The agenda you experience on the day reflects what the KSA’s most active allocators and managers are actually addressing and focused on. You select your own boardrooms, masterclasses and one-to-one meetings in advance so the day you have is the day you planned, not the one that was handed to you.

World-Class Insights from Global and Regional Experts

Every session at SIX is designed to move from observation to application. Main stage debates, private boardrooms and LP-only masterclasses are led by the allocators and managers making the decisions being discussed, not commentators on them. You leave with specific, applicable intelligence on the asset classes, geographies and deployment questions that are most relevant to your firm.

For LPs and Allocators

A private, technical forum designed for the mechanics of allocation rather than the theory of it. Our agenda allows allocators to benchmark governance and portfolio strategy against institutional peers, stress-test their approach to specific asset classes and hear directly from the managers and specialists most relevant to their current mandate.

For GPs and Fund Managers

Direct, structured access to the KSA's most influential family offices and institutional allocators. SIX provides the environment and the format for fund managers to engage in substantive, mandate-aligned dialogue with the region's most active capital; through main stage participation, private boardrooms and profiled one-to-one meetings built around genuine strategic alignment.

What’s Covered at SIX 26?

The core alternative investment strategies being actively deployed in and out of the Kingdom, examined through the lens of a rapidly maturing Saudi private markets ecosystem.
- Private equity and venture capital: Where the KSA mid-market PE opportunity sits today, how the Series B to pre-IPO funding gap is being bridged, and what the first true exit cycle means for the asset class.
- Private credit: Whether the risk-return dynamics hold up in the Saudi market, how to underwrite managers without established track records, and where the SME financing gap creates genuine opportunity.
- Real assets and infrastructure: How private capital accesses the Kingdom's giga project pipeline, where co-investment opportunities sit alongside sovereign-scale deployment, and which assets are built for long-horizon returns.
- Secondaries: How the secondary market is developing in KSA, where genuine pricing and liquidity exist today, and how allocators should be thinking about it as a portfolio construction tool rather than a last resort.
The industries reshaping Saudi Arabia's economic landscape and creating the most compelling entry points for private capital.
- AI and digital infrastructure: Investing in the data centres, compute infrastructure and power assets underpinning the Kingdom's AI ambitions, driven by data sovereignty requirements and PIF's accelerating deployment.
- Real assets and giga projects: Where private capital fits alongside sovereign-scale investment across logistics, industrial real estate and the Kingdom's infrastructure privatisation pipeline.
- Emerging sectors: The investment case for mining, gaming, InsureTech and manufacturing as the sectors quietly building conviction ahead of the wider market.
- Healthcare and longevity: Where Saudi Arabia's demographic profile, government healthcare investment and sovereign capital with a long-term mandate are creating private market entry points distinct from the global thesis.
How the Kingdom's most sophisticated family offices, institutional allocators and fund managers are navigating capital deployment in a market shaped by sovereign ambition and rapid transformation.
- The government and private capital relationship: How private investors are positioning alongside sovereign deployment, underwriting assets where the state is simultaneously the regulator, anchor investor and most likely exit.
- Saudi for Saudi: Where quality deal flow is genuinely coming from, how local allocators are accessing co-investment opportunities alongside larger players, and what it takes to build a locally anchored portfolio.
- Open for business: What has changed structurally in terms of market access, foreign ownership and regulatory clarity, and what the entry journey looks like for international managers deploying into the Kingdom today.
- The exit environment: How KSA investors are navigating a tougher exit landscape as IPO markets slow, M&A matures and the first generation of local fund vintages approaches its exit cycle.
A dedicated private forum for LPs, family office principals and institutional allocators to benchmark portfolio strategy, governance and deployment decisions with senior peers.
- Saudi family office institutionalisation: How the Kingdom's family offices are building institutional-grade investment operations, constructing portfolios across private equity, venture, credit and real assets, and why the Kingdom itself is increasingly viewed as one of the most compelling places to deploy.
- DPI and the distributions gap: How KSA allocators are managing manager relationships under pressure, where the secondary market offers genuine rebalancing opportunities, and how the gap is reshaping appetite for new commitments.
- Capital raising and LP expectations: What Saudi investors genuinely want from fund managers, how due diligence expectations have hardened, and what determines whether a KSA LP commits or passes.
- Portfolio construction in a volatile world: How the region's most sophisticated allocators are sizing, sequencing and managing exposure across private markets amid geopolitical uncertainty and shifting macro conditions.
The forces reshaping capital flows into and out of the Kingdom, and what resilience looks like for investors operating in an environment that has permanently changed.
- Conflict, capital and conviction: How Saudi Arabia has maintained its investment pipeline through regional instability, which sectors are genuinely benefiting from the disruption, and where allocators are finding conviction to deploy.
- The macro outlook: A data-driven assessment of where the Saudi economy is heading, how oil price dynamics, the global rate environment and geopolitical friction are shaping the investment landscape, and what the next three to five years looks like for private capital.
- Reallocation or rhetoric: What the data reveals about where KSA and GCC LP capital is actually moving, which asset classes and geographies are gaining conviction, and where domestic reallocation is real versus politically driven.
- Investment corridors: How KSA allocators are building international exposure across key corridors and why the Kingdom is attracting growing inbound capital from global managers seeking a differentiated emerging market thesis.
