Bahrain’s sovereign wealth fund, Mumtalakat, has acquired a stake in BlueFive Capital, providing long-term institutional backing to the $2.6bn global investment platform as it scales its operations across high-growth markets.

The investment follows the close of BlueFive’s Founding Shareholders Circle and positions Mumtalakat among a group of 25 leading regional and international investors supporting the firm. The move highlights the sovereign fund’s growing interest in emerging financial platforms and signals further expansion of Bahrain’s role in global capital markets.

Founded in late 2024 by private equity veteran Hazem Ben-Gacem, BlueFive Capital has quickly established itself with a presence in key financial centres, including London, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Beijing, and Manama, where it is headquartered.

The firm targets strategic opportunities in fast-growing economies, with a focus on consolidating segments of the financial services industry spanning insurance, private wealth, and public markets.

“Welcoming Mumtalakat as one of our anchor shareholders is both a milestone and a strong statement of confidence in our vision and capabilities,” said Sheikh Mohamed Isa Al Khalifa, Chairman of BlueFive Capital. “This partnership provides stability and credibility as we accelerate our global expansion, firmly rooted in Bahrain’s dynamic financial landscape.”

BlueFive Capital aims to transform traditional financial models and support sustainable economic growth by offering investors strategic exposure to the sectors shaping the next generation of prosperity.
