Our history
Investment strategy
Proprietary investments
Our approach involves deploying a robust investment strategy leveraging our extensive partner network to generate potential deals. We maintain a prudent opportunistic stance in global markets, seeking value while considering downside risk. Our investments span various business stages, encompassing diverse industries such as real estate, technology, financial services, industrial and renewable energy.
Remaining flexible, we closely monitor market conditions and business cycles to optimise returns without adhering to a conventional predefined investment horizon. Our preference lies in controlling positions, allowing for active collaboration with management to develop and execute their strategy.
However, we also participate passively alongside trusted partners.As conservative investors, we avoid leveraging our investments andcarefully size investments to account for risk.
Co-investment platform
In 2023, we created Black Pearl Capital Partners SPC to oversee the management of a segregated pool of capital, formalising our co-investment platform.
Black Pearl Capital Partners SPC is a private fund registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) as a vehicle to invest in segregated portfolios. This structure provides our co-investors the opportunity to invest alongside us in a single deal or into portfolios where we express our high conviction strategies.
Our private fund operates within the robust regulatory framework of CIMA and is supported by industry-recognised counterparties operating as an independent administrator and transfer agent, depository bank, legal counsel and auditor to ensure strong governance and independent oversight for external investors.

Where we invest
Real Estate
Since 2007, our primary focus for deploying capital has been the real estate sector across a spectrum of strategies, including greenfield development, value-add, and core yielding assets.
Hyperscale Data Centers
Black Pearl Capital has extensive experience investing in the data center sector globally. Since 2016, we have co-invested development equity in hyperscale data center projects in the USA, Europe and Latin America.
Technology
Since its establishment, Black Pearl Capital has achieved success investing in the technology sector, with a predominant focus on software and social media spaces. We engage in co-investments during venture and growth capital financing rounds.
Financial Services
Over the past decade, we have strategically invested in financial services focusing on experienced and dynamic management teams. Our collaborative approach allowed us to participate in the long-term value creation of these investments.
Industrial & Renewable Energy
Black Pearl Capital was an early-mover in the renewable energy sector investing in solar, wind and biomass projects since 2009. After divesting from the sector and successfully liquidating our investments, BPC remains committed to identifying opportunities that offer both sustainable growth and robust financial returns.
In the industrial sector, BPC took an active role in the restructuring of a UAE-based specialist fabricator of equipment for oil and gas service companies, contractors and operators. BPC provided capital and assisted with on-the-ground operational support, working closely with management to successfully turnaround the business and exited in 2015.
