2016 was our 10 year anniversary…
We are proud to celebrate 10 years of steady growth.
We’ve been managing our local assets, enhancing the value of our portfolio and investing successfully around the world. We’ve been benefitting Bahrain and local communities.

Our portfolio presence expanded into Italy where we invested in a leading healthcare services provider, KOS Group.
We acquired an equity stake in leading industrial gas player, Gulf Cryo.
We partnered with Regent Properties to acquire interest in a portfolio of commercial real estate assets in the United States.
We invested in a Spanish-based manufacturer of aluminium grain refiners and master alloys, Aleastur.
We formed a Joint Venture with Mueller Industries and Cayan Ventures to build the first copper tube manufacturing facility in Bahrain.
We co-invested with the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) in Hyperloop One, a high-speed transportation system company.
Through our partnership with RDIF, we made our first real estate investment in Russia by acquiring a stake in Professional Logistics Technologies

Message
Global economic conditions throughout 2016 were largely stable despite continued geopolitical tensions and slow growth. Mumtalakat’s role as a sovereign wealth fund of the Kingdom of Bahrain seeking opportunities for wealth generation and minimal risks has seen it continue to invest heavily in Bahrain while also seeking opportunities in a wider array of important and growing sectors. This has meant that the low oil price environment has not impacted Mumtalakat greatly and its global portfolio has diversified further.
Ten years since its establishment, Mumtalakat is a young investment institution, but its successes have been marked. From a company with 29 assets at outset, today Mumtalakat combines over 50 companies within its portfolio, mostly located in Bahrain and offering around 14,000 job opportunities in the Kingdom. It will continue to evolve as we adapt to the changing world around us and the needs of today and the future generations.

Message
It’s been 10 years since Mumtalakat was established, an important journey in our nation’s growth…
We started in 2006 as a small team with a vision to grow the wealth of our Kingdom and I am very happy to see how far we have come since then. Our 2016 performance is a true testament to our progress.
Our numbers speak for themselves. This year we reported solid profits for the fourth consecutive year. Our consolidated net profit went up 140% to 183.2 million US dollars. This reflects the strength and resilience of our approach in building an investment institution for the long-term benefit of Bahrain.
We wouldn’t have accomplished this without the guidance of our Board, led by His Excellency Shaikh Khaled bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, the Deputy Prime Minister.
It’s been delight to work with an outstanding team at Mumtalakat. Their commitment to our values and culture truly contributed to our ultimate goal to generate sustainable wealth for the Kingdom of Bahrain.
