End-to-end deal execution and operating capacity for direct investments: origination, diligence, structuring, completion and exit, run by one accountable team.
Your dynamic dealmaking and operating partner
For sovereign-backed funds, family offices, lenders, private equity and asset managers. We originate, execute and operate parts of your portfolio in line with your vision and mandates.
Who we work with

Do you work with institutions in Abu Dhabi and across the Gulf?
Yes. Our work for institutions is built for sovereign and state-backed funds, family offices, lenders and managers in ADGM and across the Gulf, and we have an office in Dubai.
How do you manage conflicts with your own investments?
We agree the scope of each mandate in writing before we start, and we do not compete with a client for an asset inside that scope.

Scope, timetable and terms are set out and agreed in writing before work begins, aligned to the outcome you want.
