Licensed by Saudi Arabia's Capital Market Authority since 2014, Tharwat operates with paid-up capital of SAR 87 million and manages more than SAR 7.7 billion in assets across a regulated platform spanning investment management, fund operation, custody and dealing in securities. The firm reported more than 5,300 investors, over 17 million square meters of land under management and more than 3,500 managed real-estate units. Those figures indicate scale, but the stronger evidence lies in how growth is governed where property cycles, financing costs, VAT, delivery and regulatory change can affect investor outcomes.

As described to the panel, Tharwat treats compliance as part of its fiduciary identity rather than as a procedural requirement. Management emphasised reputation, ethical duty and repeat investor trust as central assets for a fund manager handling client money under Sharia-compliant structures.

That discipline is reflected in the real-estate fund model. Tharwat acts as a financial hub between landowners, developers, financiers and investors, while risk monitoring runs from feasibility and acquisition through financing, construction, leasing, exit and fund termination. Decisions are presented to governing bodies with explicit risk-return analysis.

Execution has moved beyond traditional fund administration. The firm is investing in investor-facing digital applications for reporting, subscription and engagement, while customised ERP infrastructure supports regulatory alignment and operating efficiency. Cybersecurity is treated as a resilience requirement, reflecting the sensitivity of investor information.

Tharwat's sector allocation also shows relevance to Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 agenda, with funds directed towards offices, logistics, warehousing, hospitality and residential supply. Its approach combines opportunity creation with control, transparency and practical market judgement in a rapidly expanding segment. The Capital Finance International (CFI.co) Judging Panel congratulates Tharwat on winning the Excellence in Regulated Asset Management 2026 Award (Saudi Arabia).
