Magellan Capital Limited is a Dubai-based private equity firm specializing in high-quality and deep-value investments across private and public markets. The firm employs a diversified investment strategy, targeting businesses with significant growth potential. In June 2024, Magellan Capital acquired a majority stake in Danish Ship Finance, marking its first major investment and a strategic move to diversify its portfolio. The acquisition was partially financed through a $360 million bond issuance. In August 2024, the firm announced plans to launch a $700 million multi-strategy hedge fund, focusing on equity and credit strategies.
