CHAIRMAN, KAAF INVESTMENTS

Mishal is widely regarded as a futurist and strategist with a distinguished track record in forecasting regional economic developments. He has been investing on a personal and institutional level since 1991.

“We did not build KAAF to be transactional. 
We built it to be enduring.

When we established KAAF in 2018, we were guided by a simple but profound conviction: that the most meaningful returns – financial and human – come from relationships built over decades, not quarters. The world of investing is crowded with capital. What is rarer, and more valuable, is patient wisdom applied with discipline.

KAAF was designed from the outset as a platform that would invest with conscience. That means placing our capital and our energy only into people, businesses and funds we genuinely believe will shape the future for the better – not simply those that offer the most attractive near-term return profile. 

Across the globe, we have partnered with exceptional entrepreneurs and outstanding fund managers who share our belief that sustainable value creation and positive societal contribution are not competing goals – they are the same goal.

The world is changing faster than at any point in modern history. New industries are being born, old paradigms are collapsing, and the geography of opportunity is being redrawn. In this environment, we hold firm to our founding principle: the rigorous analysis, long-term conviction and genuine partnership are not constraints on performance. They are the source of it.

I am proud of what the KAAF team has built, and deeply optimistic about what lies ahead. We are only at the beginning.
