Our philosophy

Though MDP’s objectives are clearly of financial nature, the company’s philosophy is to contribute proactively to the regional sustainable development by creating a bridge of intellectual and financial capital between OECD/UAE investors and local opportunities in order to generate job opportunities, welfare and ultimately wealth for all stakeholders.

The investment process:

MDP follows a very strict and systematic process, based on due diligence and detailed audit, before taking any investment decision. Most important is the perceived ability of the management and the teams to deliver the results in a sustainable manner.

The investment style:

MDP follows an active investment style. MDP will typically sit on the Board of Directors of each investment in order to work closely with the management teams to create value and deliver the expected results.

While respecting the companies’ and managements’ independence, MDP can therefore fully leverage its skills in various areas (strategy, international development, M&A, …) and be directly involved in the decision making process.

Risk management is an important dimension of every investment decision as any mistake will directly impact the overall performance of the portfolio.

MDP follows a cautious approach by acting on a very selective shortlist of opportunities, carrying out stress analysis of the portfolio and sticking to prudential limits in terms of investments life cycle and exposure to specific sectors and countries.
