Long-term vision gives Waha Capital chief clear goals | The National:

"One of Salem Al Noaimi’s aides has tipped me off that football is likely to figure in our conversation, so I am not surprised when the chief executive of Waha Capital goes straight into an analogy between the firm’s investment philosophy, the economic strategy of the UAE, and the business approach at Manchester City, the club he ­supports.

“In all three, we have taken a long-term view. Painful decisions have been taken, and will continue to be when necessary. But the basic approach is to plan long term for the future, and that’s paying off for us, the country and the football club. We are planting seeds, and the fruits will be seen in a few years time,” he says.

Seeing the potential value in long-term investments has been an essential feature of Waha Capital’s strategy since its origins as Oasis International Investments in 1997."
