SANAKA HOLDINGS LIMITED
20 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU
Sanaka Holdings is a London-based private company devoted to the long-term ownership of real assets.
Its interests span property, oil & gas and mining — categories chosen for their permanence rather than their fashion. The company operates privately and deliberately, preferring the quality of its assets to the volume of its announcements.
Sanaka is not a fund, a broker or an adviser. It is an owner.
Patience is the strategy.
Cycles pass through every market Sanaka works in. The company's response is consistent: acquire with discipline, hold with conviction, and let time do its work. Decisions are weighed in decades.
Real assets, owned directly and understood thoroughly.
Management experience applied, not delegated.
Discretion, in conduct and in communication.
Formed in the field, applied at the holding level.
More than thirty years of oil & gas management experience sit behind the company's judgement — the operational understanding of what an asset costs, what it yields, and what it demands of its owner.

The company's registered office is at 20 Wenlock Road, London — a base in one of the world's most established environments for private ownership and governance.

Years of oil & gas management experience
Energy is where the company's judgement was formed — in the management of assets through price cycles, technical challenge and changing regulation.
That experience shapes how Sanaka reads an energy asset today: what it truly costs to hold, how it behaves at each stage of its life, and what disciplined management can and cannot change.
Experience shows in restraint.
Sanaka speaks the language of ownership and management, not speculation. Its posture in energy is strategic: understand the asset thoroughly, hold it properly, and let its value express itself over time.
Energy assets deserve experienced owners.
Get in TouchMineral assets reward owners who think in decades and act with discipline.
Mining sits naturally within Sanaka's portfolio: physical, finite and enduringly relevant. The company applies the same framework here as everywhere — rigorous assessment, disciplined ownership and careful management across the life of the asset.
Held with care, managed with discipline.
Resource ownership carries responsibilities that outlast any single owner. Sanaka's approach is conservative: understand an asset before acquiring it, manage it attentively while holding it, and weigh every decision against the long term.
Rigour before acquisition
Attention through ownership
Patience in every decision
The longest horizons in the portfolio.
Get in TouchQuality first. Everything else follows.
In property, Sanaka's criteria are deliberately narrow: sound fabric, proven location and the capacity to hold value across generations of use. Assets that satisfy them rarely need defending.
Where permanence is proven.
Locations are judged by their record, not their promise — places whose worth has already survived generations of change.
Property is held as it should be: maintained properly, let sensibly and never traded for the sake of motion.
Ownership of this kind is quiet work — steady attention to fabric, tenancy and context, so that value is preserved first and enhanced where the asset allows it.
Held for generations, not seasons.
Get in Touch
Experience is the company's principal asset. It was earned in energy.
Three decades of oil & gas management taught what no model can: how assets behave through full cycles, where value genuinely resides, and how much patience serious ownership requires. That judgement now governs every category Sanaka holds.
One judgement, three categories.
The native ground
Managed first-hand for over thirty years — the source of the company's operating instincts.
The tangible ground
The same discipline of quality and holding power, applied to buildings and land.
The patient ground
Resource ownership measured against the longest horizons the company holds.
Most opportunities fail the framework. That is the framework working.
Discipline means declining well: assets that cannot be understood are not assessed; assets that cannot be held properly are not acquired. What remains is a portfolio the company can own with conviction — and manage for decades.
An investment philosophy, kept simple on purpose.
