Khaled Said

Spear’s Review

Asked what he enjoys most about his job as managing partner of CapGen, Khaled Said has a simple answer. ‘I work with an amazing group of people who are not only highly talented investors, but who really care about what we do for clients,’ he tells Spear's.

The firm’s success, he adds, lies in its ability to combine traditional practice with more entrepreneurial insights. ‘When we set up this firm, there was a pervading myth that the best investors worked only in megalithic institutions, and clients had to accept being just another number on a long list,’ he says. ‘Now, clients know that they don’t need to make that trade-off and that serious talent is drawn to the kind of dynamism you get in independent firms.’
