Tanami wins Saudi market license and launches in the kingdom

Tanami has secured a license from Saudi Arabia’s Capital Market Authority, opening its digital private-markets platform to investors in the kingdom. The move expands the firm’s regional push and gives Saudi investors access to sharia-compliant private market opportunities with quarterly liquidity and a low minimum investment.

Why it matters: - Tanami’s Saudi launch widens access to private markets for individual and institutional investors in the kingdom. - The platform aims to remove two major barriers to private-market investing: high minimums and limited liquidity. - The launch supports Saudi Arabia’s push to deepen its financial sector and expand investment participation.

What happened: - Tanami received a license from Saudi Arabia’s Capital Market Authority. - The company launched its services in Saudi Arabia on September 13, 2026. - The platform offers digital access to private-market investment opportunities for investors in the kingdom. - Tanami said the Saudi launch marks an important step in its regional expansion.

The details: - Tanami positions itself as a leading investment platform in private markets. - The platform offers global investment opportunities that are sharia-compliant and structured to institutional standards. - Tanami says the platform includes quarterly liquidity and a low minimum investment. - The company says investors can diversify across private equity, private credit, real estate and infrastructure. - Through the digital platform, investors can deploy capital and monitor investment performance. - Tanami said it invests alongside major global institutions with decades of track records. - Dr. Nawaf Al-Mosqati, co-founder and CEO of Tanami Saudi Arabia, said the license reflects a focus on governance, regulatory compliance and investor protection. - Al-Mosqati said the launch aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 goals to broaden investment opportunities, encourage saving and build a more advanced and inclusive financial sector. - Faisal Al-Jalahma, co-founder and CEO of Tanami Bahrain, said the company wants to open access to opportunities that have long been out of reach for many investors. - Al-Jalahma said the Saudi market offers investors across the kingdom a chance to access global opportunities and diversify portfolios. - Tanami’s social media pages are listed on LinkedIn and Instagram.

Between the lines: - The license gives Tanami regulatory credibility in one of the region’s most important capital markets. - The focus on sharia-compliant products and lower entry thresholds suggests Tanami is targeting a broader investor base than traditional private-markets offerings. - The launch also fits a broader regional theme: fintech and alternative-investment firms are trying to make private markets more accessible through digital platforms.

What's next: - Tanami will now compete for Saudi investors looking for alternative assets, diversification and easier access to private markets. - The company is likely to use its Saudi authorization to deepen its regional footprint. - The platform’s growth will depend on investor adoption, regulatory execution and its ability to deliver steady access and transparency.
