The Gulf is in the middle of one of the most ambitious economic transformations of our time. Saudi Vision 2030, the commercial maturation of the UAE, and a region-wide opening to foreign capital, foreign technology, and global markets are creating an extraordinary set of opportunities for those positioned to act on them.

Aratrad exists to make those opportunities legible, accessible, and investable. We work with American investors looking for differentiated returns and access to high-growth markets, and with Gulf operators and institutions looking for capital, Western technology and know-how, and access to US consumer and commercial networks.

Aratrad exists to make the Gulf opportunity legible, accessible, and investable for American capital — and to bring American capability, technology, and networks into the region on terms designed for long-term value on both sides.

Aratrad operates through four interlocking arms:

Aratrad Capital. Direct and co-investment into Gulf opportunities, anchored in Saudi Arabia.

Aratrad Media. Funding and facilitation of film, content, and marketing projects that connect Western and regional audiences.

Aratrad Advisory. Advisory engagements for American firms entering the Gulf and Gulf institutions engaging the US market.

Aratrad Forum. Convenings, delegations, and speaking engagements that build relationships across the corridor.
