Team

The people behind the fund.

A small team, doing deep work.

Farid Aliani, CFA

Chief Investment Officer

Farid leads the fund's research and investment process. He is an investment professional with more than 13 years of experience across portfolio management, equity research, and strategic investment planning, and has managed investments in both public and private markets across emerging and frontier economies. His career spans asset management, private equity, and investment banking, giving him a practical, full-spectrum view of how companies are built, financed, and valued.

Farid has been a CFA charterholder since 2014 and holds a BBA in Finance and MIS from the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi. His investment approach combines disciplined fundamental analysis with a long-term orientation — finding quality where the market has stopped looking.

Saim Ahmed

Chief Strategy Officer

Saim shapes the fund's strategy, thematic research agenda, and investment framework. He is an investment professional based in Saudi Arabia whose work spans public equities, venture capital, and large-scale infrastructure transactions — including deal structuring, financial modelling, due diligence, and investment committee analysis across the GCC.

His earlier career includes roles at Deloitte and at Arif Habib Limited, one of Pakistan’s leading investment banks, where he built financial models and investment memoranda for capital raisings. Saim holds a degree from the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi. At Game Theory Capital, he focuses on the big picture: identifying the technology and biotech themes of the next decade, and translating them into a disciplined, research-driven portfolio strategy.
