A Note from the CEO
As we step into the second quarter of 2025, I would like to take a moment to reflect on our achievements from the past year and outline our strategic priorities for the months ahead.
SICO has evolved into a truly regional investment firm, operating seamlessly across Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. This expansion strengthens our market access, allowing us to better serve our clients and align with our long-term vision of being the region’s partner of choice for innovative and reliable investment solutions.
Solid Growth in AUM
As of year-end 2024, SICO’s assets under management (AUM) reached USD 7.4 billion, securing our position among MENA’s top 20 asset managers and ranking SICO Group among the top eight Saudi asset managers. This reflects our disciplined approach to investment and our unwavering commitment to delivering value for clients.

As we enter 2025 and celebrate our 30th anniversary, we remain resolute in our commitment to driving sustainable growth. However, we recognize that the year ahead is likely to be a bumpy one, marked by increasing volatility and a range of uncertainties that could impact the market. While we are cautiously optimistic, we understand the need for vigilance and adaptability as we navigate these challenges.

These steps will allow us to stay agile and make the most of the opportunities that arise amid the ongoing market fluctuations.
