Investment Management

Correctly developed real estate assets offer inflation protected, asset backed income with yields well in excess of the sovereign bond markets in which the asset resides. The income derived from such assets is robust, reliable and sought after as a dependable revenue stream. The resultant revenue streams are attractive to many types of investment institution including banks, pension funds, bond markets and risk adverse investment professionals. However the skills and discipline required in developing assets of this quality and standing are not commonly or consistently found in the related service industries.To mitigate the risks inherent in real estate development we; in-house the most essential skills, minimise staff turn-over, have comprehensive risk management and corporate governance policies and have developed long standing relationships with land owners, banks and the essential service providers in the regions in-which we operate. We structure our organisation into four distinct groups (Corporate Finance, Development Management, Asset Management and Property Management). Only once these groups collectively agree on an investment target do we proceed with execution.Currently we fund or asset manage the follow collective investments:IndustRE Development Fund - A real estate development fund with a focus on the GCC ex-Saudi Arabia. AUM over USD 500 million;Abdali - an Amman based residential development.
