01 · About / The Group
Founded in 2017, Zaldi Capital is a single, integrated investment group: portfolio management, funds, private equity and market access, run under one strategy and one standard. Today the group manages more than EGP 32 billion in portfolio assets for clients who expect their capital to work with intent. It operates under License No. 489 from Egypt’s Financial Regulatory Authority, and holds itself to something rarer than scale: the refusal to speculate where the market speculates, and the patience to hold a position until it pays.
The difference is where we start. Every strategy begins with the client’s objective, never with a product to sell. What follows is investment that stays clear where the industry turns complicated, and disciplined where it turns to guesswork. Grow what you have built. Protect what matters. Reach what most investors never can. That is the whole of it. Smart, accessible and tailored solutions, backed by deep market expertise, built to grow and protect our clients’ wealth.
Five disciplines. A single standard.
Zaldi operates five distinct business lines, each built to create value at a different stage of the financial cycle, from the first idea through to the final return.
Capital managed around your objective, across fixed income, money market and equities.
Funds across hard currency, money market and Egyptian equities.
Strategic stakes in businesses we help build and strengthen.

The Zaldi Stallion
A visual pledge of poise, unswayed by short-term market noise.
Brand emblem & cognitive essence
Every line of it was drawn to mean something. The ears face forward: alertness and self-assurance, a firm that stays informed and unshaken by the noise around it.
The stallion is the idea behind the name. It moves with power and precision, ahead of the herd rather than inside it, and Zaldi carries the same principle into how it invests. Identify the opportunity early. Take the position with conviction. Hold it with the patience real value demands. Ambition sets the direction. Execution turns it into results.
It is also a firm built on ownership. The people who run our funds, our portfolios and our advisory work hold a genuine stake in how our clients fare, and that stake shows in the standard they hold themselves to. We are not an intermediary between a client and the market. We are the client's partner within it.
The chronology of conviction
Zaldi began with a conviction most of the industry called impossible. Its founder, Mohamed Negme, set out to build a firm that would not follow the market but move ahead of it, and he built it against a steady stream of people telling him it could not be done. In his view, the market was never big enough for the ambition he held for it, and that belief remains the engine of the firm today. What started as a single conviction is now an institutional group.
Zaldi Capital is founded in Cairo and licensed by the Financial Regulatory Authority under License No. 489 for the formation and management of securities portfolios.
FRA License No. 489In December, License No. 489 is extended to fund management and to participation in establishing companies that issue securities or raise capital.
Statutory extensionThe group assembles its ecosystem across execution, advisory, consumer finance and risk, and launches its funds across hard currency, money market and equities.
Ecosystem architectureZaldi manages more than EGP 32 billion in portfolio assets, a tenfold increase over two years, and stands as a full institutional group.
EGP 32bn+ managed assetsWhen I started Zaldi, most of the people I spoke to thought it could not be done. The firm I described was, in their words, too ambitious for the market we were in. I heard the word no more times than I can count.
I built it anyway.
I did not set out to create another investment house that followed the market and reported the same results as everyone else. I set out to build something that moved ahead of it. A firm with the conviction to take a position before it was obvious, and the discipline to hold it until it paid. That is what the stallion in our name stands for. Strength, held under control.
Years on, that conviction has become an institution. Zaldi manages billions today for clients who expect more than caution, and it does so with governance and a team that stand among the best in this country. The ambition that started the firm has not changed. If anything, the market has only proven there was room for it all along.
Strategic intent
To set the standard for investment in Egypt. Not by being the largest firm in the market, but by being the one that moves ahead of it.
Forward leadership // EGX ecosystemOperational commitment
To deliver financial solutions shaped around each client’s goals, and to open access to opportunities the traditional market keeps out of reach. We bring deep market expertise and stay close to the work, so that every client we serve builds lasting value over time.
Bespoke value creation // Fiduciary integrityCore pillars of governance
Built on deep financial expertise, disciplined decision-making and strong governance. Every investment we make is anchored in the confidence that comes from doing things properly.
Governance anchorA focus on sustainable performance and on finding the opportunities that drive real, long-term progress for a portfolio, rather than short-term movement for its own sake.
Sustainable alphaWe turn complex investment processes into clear, well-structured solutions. Wealth management should be understandable, and we take responsibility for making it so.
Operational clarityWe open doors that are usually closed. Clients gain entry to curated, high-value opportunities that are not widely available, and to the broader financial potential they unlock.
Curated portalsCognitive paradigm
Four tenets that determine how Zaldi deploys balance-sheet resources and client capital.
Zaldi is not a single product or a traditional investment firm. Every brand, fund and platform in the group is engineered to work as one unit, so that credibility, operational strength and financial value compound across the whole.
Zaldi treats a strong idea as its most valuable asset. We look for concepts that can reshape how the market behaves, and we give them the backing, structure and discipline required to mature into commercial and institutional reality.
Zaldi turns ideas into action with speed and clarity. Sharp decision-making lets the firm commit to an opportunity while competitors are still deciding, securing advantageous entry pricing before broad market realization.
Zaldi sets new standards and challenges old ones, but always deliberately and in control. Every move is paired with governance, risk awareness and accountability to protect clients while challenging outdated norms.
Fiduciary governance & directors
Zaldi is governed by a board and executive team that pair high-level regulatory authority with genuine market experience. These are people with the discipline to manage capital at scale and the judgement to find value where others see only risk.

04 · Governance & fiduciary mandates
Every activity within the group rests on its licenses, and the firm treats that foundation as absolute. Zaldi is an Egyptian Joint Stock Company, fully subject to Capital Market Law No. 95 of 1992 and its executive regulations, and supervised directly by the Financial Regulatory Authority.
Its authority to operate is established through two mandates under License No. 489: formation and management of securities portfolios, and fund management with establishment of capital-raising entities. Risk management is central to how the firm thinks, not an obligation added at the end. Dynamic asset allocation, disciplined stress testing and real-time monitoring protect client capital while the return side does its work.
