Our leadership
Our values ensure
future success
Our founder knew that the best businesses build a better future. So we search for value that creates lasting prosperity, not just quarterly returns – the value that comes from relationships built on integrity.
Our investment approach
“Ever Forward for Future Generations” – it’s not just a motto, it’s key to how we invest. We aim to maximize potential: what a business could be, in the right conditions, with the right plan and the right partner. A long-term horizon underpins our approach across asset classes.
We’re celebrating
75 years
The Olayan Group originated in 1947, when Suliman S. Olayan founded a trucking and supply concern, his first of many pioneering ventures. Mr. Olayan went on to become a leading entrepreneur, international investor, business leader, and philanthropist.
