Acquisition Types

Citadel Capital takes a flexible approach to the structures it uses to pursue investments across the region, giving it more latitude to invest throughout the business cycle relative to traditional buyout firms. The common theme running through all of its investments is the firm’s commitment to raising Opportunity-Specific Funds that create and control platforms for regional growth.

The firm’s willingness to pursue an incremental approach to building its platform investments (and its continued ability to raise debt) has allowed it to capitalize on opportunistic investments despite global economic conditions in the past two years.

Citadel Capital creates value for the firm and its co-investors by pursuing opportunities through leveraged buyouts (e.g. Egyptian Fertilizers Company [EFC]), distressed investments (ASEC Holding, Elmisrieen), consolidation plays / industry roll-ups (TAQA Arabia, Gozour) and greenfield investments (Nile Logistics, ERC).
