Stronghold Capital Management

Stronghold Capital Management sets itself an outsized target for a brand-new firm. Its founder, Josevany Bou Safi, states the goal of building the largest hedge fund ever headquartered in the Middle East. It is among the newest arrivals in Dubai's DIFC, having been authorised there in 2025.

The firm runs data-driven quantitative strategies across global public markets for high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutions, with disciplined risk management as its stated frame. It pitches itself as a regional champion aligned with Dubai's D33 economic agenda, bridging global capital-allocation standards with local fluency.
