ESG and governance at the heart of Ajeej Public Equities

Why responsible investing is integral to long-term returns
Aligning conviction with sustainability and governance reform

Governance has always been a defining element of Ajeej Capital’s investment philosophy. Long before ESG became mainstream, Ajeej understood that material corporate governance factors were critical drivers of long-term returns and essential for risk mitigation. This belief has shaped its public equities strategy since inception, ensuring that responsibility and performance go hand in hand.

Over the years, Ajeej has broadened its ESG focus to include environmental and social dimensions alongside governance. Today, its proprietary ESG scoring methodology complements its fundamental analysis, guiding conviction in investment decisions and highlighting opportunities for sustainable growth. By doing so, Ajeej positions itself at the forefront of responsible investing in the region.

This approach resonates deeply in MENA, where governments are pushing for reforms, transparency, and sustainable development. By aligning its strategies with these trends, Ajeej not only generates attractive returns but also participates in shaping the evolution of regional markets. Its role is both as an investor and as an active influencer of better corporate practices.

“ESG is not an add-on for us; it is embedded in how we assess value and risk. It is about being both responsible and forward-looking.”
