Tanami launches in Saudi Arabia after CMA license

Tanami has won a license from Saudi Arabia’s Capital Market Authority and launched its private market investment platform in the Kingdom. The move gives local investors digital access to shariah-compliant, institutional-grade opportunities with lower minimums and quarterly liquidity.

Why it matters: - Tanami’s Saudi launch opens a new route for individual investors to reach private market assets that have traditionally been difficult to access. - The platform’s lower minimum investment requirements and quarterly liquidity could make private equity, private credit, real estate and infrastructure more available to a broader investor base. - The licensing move also signals growing regulatory support for digital investment platforms in Saudi Arabia’s financial market.
