The C3 Fund's inception builds upon Compass Capital's decade-long track record of delivering robust returns in the Egyptian market.

Managing assets exceeding $1 billion, the firm has consistently demonstrated its prowess across sectors such as healthcare, education, financial services, and consumer goods.

CI Capital, recognized as the "Best Investment Bank in Egypt" by Euromoney in 2023, brings its comprehensive suite of investment banking, asset management, and brokerage services to the partnership, further underlining the strategic significance of the C3 Fund in bolstering Egypt's investment landscape.
