Knights Gate Advisers (KGA) is an independent capital advisory boutique headquartered in the Kingdom of Bahrain, serving sovereign institutions & family offices, across the GCC.

Founded by Khalil Al-Awadhi, Knights Gate draws on more than 30+ years of senior experience across some of the most respected names in global finance, including Banque Indosuez, BNP Paribas, Société Générale Asset Management, Investcorp, and PineBridge Investments, to connect Gulf capital with carefully selected investment opportunities worldwide.

What we do

We advise our clients on capital allocation across private equity, venture capital, real estate, and real assets, partnering with leading global managers to access strategies that are typically reserved for the largest institutional investors. Our mandates include:

- Capital placement and introductions to global fund managers;
- investment advisory for family offices and private investors;
- co-investment and direct opportunity sourcing; and
- strategic advisory on portfolio construction and manager selection.

How we work

As an independent firm, our recommendations are driven solely by client objectives, and our relationships are built to last beyond any single transaction.

Over the years, Knights Gate's principals have held advisory board seats across private equity funds including Blackstone Capital Partners, TCW, Gartmore Indosuez, Arcis, and Eurosuez — relationships that continue to shape how we source, evaluate, and deliver opportunities to our clients today.

Our conviction

Capital deserves an advisor, not a salesperson. Every mandate we accept is grounded in discretion, alignment, and the long view.
