Private wealth demands active construction: At Hafizi Group, we identify mispriced assets, negotiate restricted structures and coordinate investments across legal systems.
We design portfolios as engineers design bridges – calculating load-bearing capacity, stress-testing assumptions, building redundancy into critical structures. Asset allocation begins with an empirical analysis of historical returns, correlation matrices and liquidity requirements across market cycles.
Continuous monitoring identifies emerging threats and opportunities. And Hafizi Group’s consolidated reporting presents the entire portfolio, across custodians, currencies and asset classes, in a single coherent view.
Institutional allocators commit 30-50% of assets to alternatives for good reason: illiquidity commands a premium, and patient capital earns superior returns. We provide access to private equity funds, direct credit opportunities and real estate partnerships typically restricted to pension funds and endowments.
Our due diligence process scrutinises fund economics, historical performance net of fees, reference checks with limited partners and alignment of sponsor incentives. We negotiate fee arrangements and co-investment rights that reflect the size and permanence of our capital. Private markets reward selectivity, so at Hafizi Group we ensure each allocation meets return thresholds that justify illiquidity and operational complexity.
Certain opportunities cannot be accessed through funds alone. We structure and execute direct investments where our families possess sectoral expertise or where deal economics favour principal investment over fund participation. Co-investment alongside established sponsors offers an alternative avenue. Hafizi Group participation involves:
Operating between Dubai and London reflects the jurisdictional reality of modern portfolios: some assets function optimally under English law, others benefit from UAE regulatory treatment, still others require structures spanning multiple territories.
We coordinate tax-efficient holding structures, navigate cross-border compliance obligations and maintain banking relationships in key financial centres.
