SVC invests in Jadwa Investment's private credit fund for Saudi corporate financing

SVC has invested in the flagship private credit fund of Jadwa Investment, an asset manager founded in Riyadh and licensed by Saudi Arabia’s Capital Market Authority.

Jadwa’s fund has deployed more than SAR 400 million across five investments to date, with a sixth expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Jadwa Investment manages more than SAR 110 billion across public and private equity funds, real estate, private credit, fixed income and money market instruments. It serves government entities, local and international institutional investors, family offices and individual investors.

The fund focuses on providing Shariah-compliant financing solutions to companies in Saudi Arabia and the wider region.

SVC was founded in 2018 and is the investment arm of the Small and Medium Enterprises Bank, part of Saudi Arabia’s National Development Fund. It focuses on spurring and sustaining financing for startups and small and medium-sized enterprises, from pre-seed through pre-IPO, through either fund investments or direct investments.

Noura Al-Sarhan, managing director and chief executive officer of SVC, said: “SVC’s investment in Jadwa’s private credit fund reflects our commitment to widening access to finance for Saudi small and medium-sized enterprises and to strengthening the Kingdom’s private capital ecosystem. Private credit offers flexible financing solutions tailored to the needs of growing companies.”
