Sancta Capital is the only firm focused on special situations investing in the Middle East and North Africa. Our professionals have built a legacy in this niche investment space and have extensive experience investing across the corporate capital structure, combining a deep local awareness with a value investing discipline.

Our investment team's expertise in high yield credit and distressed debt allows us to capitalize on mispriced primary and secondary credits, and expands our scope beyond that of a traditional equity manager. This multidisciplinary approach has allowed us to identify unique equity and credit opportunities overlooked by our competitors.

The firm's idea sourcing process combines an exhaustive proprietary "hit list" of previously researched ideas, compiled over a decade of investing in the region, with a deep on-the-ground network of advisors, corporate executives, government officials, and specialist brokers. Intelligent sourcing has consistently allowed our team to originate landmark credit transactions and identify emerging market equity success stories in advance of peers.

Sancta Capital employs an active approach with its portfolio companies to increase stakeholder value across equity and credit situations. Our hands-on involvement in regional corporate debt restructurings, alternative financings, and shareholder-focused activist campaigns has allowed our team to successfully grow and crystallize the full valuation potential of our investments.

Our firm's investment process is strict and selective – we build significant margins of safety into financial projections and entry valuations, and only target opportunities with high IRR thresholds and meaningful downside protection. This approach has allowed our team to preserve capital in volatile markets and produce superior risk-adjusted returns over time.
