WALKING THE SAIY ROAD

The Arabic meaning of “SAIY” is to “strive” or “pursue” and is derived from the effort of Prophet Abraham’s wife, Hagar, who while looking for water for her thirsty son, Ismail walked seven times between the two mountains Safa and Marwa (the Sai Road) until she found water gushing out beneath her son’s feet as he kicked the ground. This walking effort is re-enacted as part of the holy pilgrimage (Hajj). The stars in the logo represent divine inspiration. SAIY strives to change people’s lives with growth that matters through God’s grace.

With its foundation based on Islamic principles, SAIY Asset Management’s plan is to manage a suite of risk profiled regulated collective investment funds that are Shari’ah compliant without compromising on growth. Transparency, alignment of interests and true independence are core to our long-term vision of building a brand that really can change the face of investments. Like Hagar, Sameer and Gerald and the team at SAIY Asset Management continue to strive to set a new benchmark for financial growth.

ABOUT SAIY ASSET MANAGEMENT

SAIY Asset Management is a company founded on a vision to change the face of investments – to do things differently, to do things better, and at all times, to deliver growth that matters.

The motivation to help individuals grow their hard-earned money and achieve a secure financial future has resulted in a business supported by loyal investors who appreciate SAIY’s approach to growing wealth. This approach has not gone unnoticed by institutional investors. Encouraged by investor interest (both locally and offshore), Sameer and Gerald have taken the brave step towards building an institutional asset management company that is regulated and licensed by the FSCA. SAIY Asset Management is the culmination of this vision.

Retaining the name and the logo, SAIY Asset Management continues to embody the fundamental principles of SAIY, simple, honest, and consistent: these principles are universally appealing.
