AGF is a middle-market private equity fund that will invest in the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”) with a focus on the vibrant, growing and rapidly diversifying economies of the Gulf Cooperation Council (the “GCC”).

The GCC includes the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Kuwait, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (the “UAE”).

There are numerous lucrative opportunities within the GCC. AGF has a significant competitive edge over other private equity firms that would seek to do business in the Middle East. Members of the AGF Team have been present in the Arabian Gulf for over two decades, building relationships and opportunities.

AGF believes it is uniquely positioned for success because of the following factors:

• The dynamic and burgeoning, emerging and developing geographic markets of the GCC and MENA region will continue growing at a faster pace than advanced economies.
• The AGF Team has a long and successful track record in private equity with an historical focus on small- and middle-market investing.
• The AGF Team has overcome the barriers to entry because of personal and professional relationships and an excellent reputation in the Gulf.
• The AGF Team has had a long-time physical presence in the GCC (“feet on the ground”) with an intimate knowledge of the Gulf.
• AGF has management and network resources, proprietary deal flow and existing operations in marine fuel logistics, oil and gas supply and education services, all of which have tremendous upside potential.
