BlackRidge & Co : From Rothschild To Riyadh

MIAMI - Nov. 12, 2025 - PRLog -- BlackRidge & Co. Expands Presence in the Middle East, Engaging with Leading Sovereign Wealth Funds

DUBAI, UAE / ACCESS Newswire / November 12, 2025 — BlackRidge & Co.™, the globally sought-after private advisory firm led by visionary entrepreneur Michael Matthew "PowerBaller," has announced a significant expansion into the Middle East, following a series of high-level engagements with sovereign wealth funds and royal investment offices across the Gulf. The move comes as BlackRidge & Co.™ surpasses $100 billion in assets under management (AUM) across its international capital network and launches its Strategic Growth Advisory Division, designed to bridge the world's most influential investors with next-generation opportunities.

Over the past several months, the BlackRidge & Co team have held strategic meetings with the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, Kuwaiti royal family offices, and key institutional partners across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha. These engagements align with the Gulf's unprecedented global investment surge — as Saudi Arabia, under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, channels $600 billion to $1 trillion USD toward global diversification under its Vision 2030 initiative.

At the center of this vast regional power sits the Al Saud family, whose collective wealth and holdings are estimated at over $1.4 trillion USD, representing one of the most formidable capital dynasties in the world.

Formerly, Michael Matthew and newly appointed BlackRidge & Co executive Chris Javier served as the primary points of contact for the Kuwaiti royal family and Dubai World — the investment group behind the construction of the Aria Resort in Las Vegas — strengthening deep-rooted relationships with Gulf sovereign and institutional investors.

Recently photographed alongside Princess Reema bint Bandar Al Saud and members of the Al Saud royal family, Michael Matthew emphasized the importance of long-term collaboration with the region's royal and sovereign leadership.

"The Middle East is the epicenter of next-generation global capital," said Michael Matthew, Founder and CEO of BlackRidge & Co.™ "Our relationships across the region — from Riyadh to Dubai — represent more than partnerships; they're alliances built on trust, legacy, and shared vision. BlackRidge is honored to work alongside sovereign funds and royal families that are actively shaping the future of global growth and innovation."

BlackRidge & Co.™'s expansion across the Gulf reinforces its powerful international network and long-standing alliances with Rothschild & Co, Deutsche Bank, Tencent Holdings, ICBC Bank of China, and Fosun Group — positioning the firm as one of the most exclusive, connected, and sought-after advisory houses in global finance.
