CI Capital Partners with Talaat Moustafa Group to Launch Egypt’s First and Largest Real Estate Investment Fund – Awa’ed Real Estate Investment Fund
CI Capital (CICH.CA), the leading diversified financial services group, in cooperation with Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG) announced the launch of Egypt’s first and largest real estate investment fund, Awa’ed Real Estate Investment Fund (the “Fund”), with a total fund size of approximately EGP 8 bn. This launch marks a transformative milestone in the evolution of the country’s institutional real estate investment landscape.
Together, CI Capital and TMG have created a first-of-its-kind investment platform that seamlessly bridges real estate and capital markets, offering investors unparalleled access to a high-quality institutional product designed to deliver long-term value, resilient income streams, and exposure to Egypt’s most prominent real estate assets. The fund focuses on managing income-generating commercial units while also developing two strategically selected land plots that will be enhanced and subsequently sold to unlock capital appreciation, providing investors with balanced exposure to both recurring income and value creation.
“We are proud to collaborate with Talaat Moustafa Group in launching the Awa’ed Real Estate Investment Fund, which we view as a strategic platform to broaden the range of investment products in the Egyptian market and provide institutional access to real estate assets within a strong governance framework and a sophisticated investment structure. We believe it further reflects the Egyptian market’s growing ability to adopt more advanced investment vehicles that enhance the efficient deployment of capital,” Stated Mahmoud Attallah, Group Executive Vice Chairman and Managing Director of CI Capital Holding.
Hesham Gohar, Group CEO of CI Capital, commented: “The launch of Awa’ed Fund marks a landmark moment for Egypt’s real estate investment market. By combining TMG’s development expertise and extensive portfolio with CI Capital’s investment capabilities, we are creating a vehicle that delivers long-term value for investors while strengthening the country’s institutional real estate ecosystem. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to high-impact investment solutions and cements CI Capital’s position as a market-leading diversified financial services provider.”
This flagship cooperation brings together TMG, Egypt’s largest real estate developer with a proven track record spanning more than five decades, over 130,000 units delivered, 28 commercial properties, and five fully integrated cities housing more than 1.5 million residents, and CI Capital, a leading financial services platform with more than USD 17 billion in advised transactions across 100+ deals, underpinned by deep expertise in M&A, ECM, and alternative investments.
“Awa’ed Fund reflects our commitment to disciplined investment and active portfolio management. Our focus is on optimizing asset performance, creating predictable, long-term returns, and ensuring that investors benefit from a well-governed, high-quality sector-specific platform. Since inception, CI Capital PE has achieved important milestones in deploying capital, building high-quality portfolios, and strengthening its active portfolio management capabilities, while continuing to build on its growing track record” Stated Karim Badr, CEO of CI Capital Private Equity.
CI Capital’s Private Equity arm – the Fund Manager – will oversee the fund’s overall management and lead the engagement of service providers to ensure performance and returns remain aligned with investors’ expectations. Additionally, the Fund Manager has partnered with The Arab Company for Projects and Urban Development, a subsidiary of Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG) to handle the development and sale of the real estate assets that the fund acquired, enhancing the investment value of the assets and delivering sustainable returns for investors.
“We are very proud to have played a pivotal role in this landmark transaction; a first of its kind in institutional real estate investing. This transaction underscores the strategic role CI Capital plays in connecting high-quality differentiated investment opportunities with institutional capital and our continued commitment toward delivering high-impact advisory solutions that create value for our clients, while seamlessly executing complex transactions.” Stated Amr Helal, CEO of Sell-side Investment Bank at CI Capital.
CI Capital’s Investment Banking division acted as Sole Global Coordinator, Bookrunner, and Lead Financial Advisor to Awa’ed Real Estate Investment Fund, while also serving as exclusive Financial Advisor to Talaat Moustafa Group on the transaction.
The Fund is FRA regulated and features an innovative, self-liquidating investment structure that offers attractive risk-adjusted returns with semi-annual distributions and potential upside – setting a new benchmark for real estate investment products in the Egyptian market.
The successful closing of the Fund was supported by the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA), whose constructive, responsive, and collaborative engagement played an important role throughout the process. Investor demand for the Fund was exceptionally strong, with the offering oversubscribed within one day of its launch, reflecting robust participation from leading banks, insurance companies, and financial institutions. These further highlights deep institutional confidence in the Fund’s innovative structure, the quality of its underlying assets, the trust in CI Capital‘s capabilities, and the strength of this collaboration.
