Intersel
Deploying capital, alone or alongside partners, in mature and emerging markets.
Our principal investment business pursues corporate investment opportunities in mature and emerging markets, deploying capital from the firm, its employees and outside investors. Since 1991, Intersel has worked alongside Middle Eastern families and international investors. We invest in businesses where the creative application of our capital, international expertise and relationships can help management teams build significant value. Trust sits at the heart of our approach, and we focus on building long-term relationships. We identify, structure, finance, add value to, monitor and realise investments across a diversified range of industries, and partner with co-investors who bring country or sector expertise and capital.

Intersel's private equity activity follows a traditional merchant banking model, investing in mature and emerging markets. A broad, flexible mandate allows us to act decisively on attractive local opportunities. We make privately negotiated equity and equity-related investments in real estate and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with a focus on growth capital.
Real estate investment is the second pillar of our principal investment business. We have built deep real estate expertise across many countries and already support clients through our advisory and financing capabilities. Offering an equity proposition is a natural extension of that expertise.
In July 2025, Intersel acquired Upstream Systems, a mobile marketing technology company operating across 45+ emerging markets.
