Jada Fund of Funds, a wholly owned subsidiary of Saudi Arabia\u2019s Public Investment Fund, announced its strategic commitment to Growth Catalyst Fund I, a Saudi-based private equity fund licensed by the Capital Market Authority with a targeted fund size of SAR 750 million (USD 200 million), focused on scaling high-potential mid-market companies across the Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The commitment reinforces Jada\u2019s continued catalytic role in the private equity ecosystem, with Jada acting as an early institutional backer of Growth Catalyst Fund I in its first close, Jada said in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Growth Catalyst Fund is a sector-agnostic private equity vehicle that seeks to support portfolio companies in accelerating growth, strengthening governance frameworks, and enhancing operational capabilities, positioning them for long-term value creation and potential exits through strategic transactions or capital markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGrowth equity occupies a vital space in any mature private capital ecosystem, supporting companies that have proven their model and are ready to scale. Our commitment to Growth Catalyst Fund I reflects our confidence in the growth equity opportunities within Saudi Arabia and our deliberate focus on developing the next generation of fund managers who will help shape the Kingdom\u2019s investment landscape,\u201d said Bandr Alhomaly, CEO and Managing Director of Jada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jada\u2019s commitment to Growth Catalyst Fund I reflects its ongoing support for emerging fund managers, reinforcing its role in strengthening the private capital ecosystem and developing regional investment talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Growth Catalyst\u2019s focus on accelerating high-growth Saudi SMEs aligns with the Kingdom\u2019s economic diversification ambitions under Vision 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are pleased to welcome Jada Fund of Funds as an anchor investor in Growth Catalyst Fund I. Their support reflects strong confidence in our strategy and in the opportunity within Saudi Arabia\u2019s mid-market segment,\u201d said Turki Aldayel, Founder and CEO of Growth Catalyst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe look forward to partnering with founders and management teams to help scale high-potential Saudi businesses and contribute to the continued development of the Kingdom\u2019s private sector in line with Vision 2030,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Saudi Arabia continues to deepen its capital markets and attract increasing levels of foreign and domestic institutional investment, expanding growth equity options is an important step toward supporting a full spectrum of financing solutions for enterprises at every stage of maturity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
