Who We Are

A Private Investment Platform Built for Long-Term Capital

$9.3B+ Capital Deployed (5 Yrs)
2006 Year Established
Global Investment Mandate

Grand Capital LLC is a private investment and financing firm with roots in the UAE and an international investment mandate.

Since our establishment in 2006, we have developed experience across a broad range of sectors and investment structures. Over the past five years, we have deployed more than USD 9.3 billion in capital, supporting businesses, acquisitions, commercial real estate, hospitality, project development, infrastructure, and other strategic investment opportunities across selected international markets.

Our investment activities encompass debt financing, equity investment, and strategic joint ventures, with the structure and terms of each transaction determined following a detailed evaluation of the underlying business or project, financial position, risk profile, investment potential, and long-term objectives.

For debt financing, applicable interest rates, repayment terms, and other financing conditions are established on a transaction-by-transaction basis following project assessment and due diligence. Where appropriate, Grand Capital LLC may also participate through direct equity investment or strategic joint-venture arrangements, with the level, structure, and form of capital participation tailored to the specific requirements and merits of each opportunity.

Through this approach, Grand Capital LLC evaluates each investment opportunity individually and determines the appropriate capital structure, investment participation, and transaction framework to support the development and long-term objectives of the business or project.

Capital Resources & Global Investment Network

Grand Capital LLC primarily deploys capital from its direct investment portfolios and Group investment resources, which represent the principal source of capital for our investment and financing activities.

International Institutional Network

In addition to our direct capital resources, we maintain an extensive international network comprising institutional investors, investment funds, hedge funds, investment banks, investor clubs, money market funds, mutual funds, pension funds, venture capital firms, and accredited financial institutions.

Our broader capital network may support the sourcing, structuring, or execution of selected transactions; however, Grand Capital LLC independently evaluates each opportunity, determines the appropriate investment or financing structure, and retains control over the terms and deployment of capital under its investment mandate.

Where Grand Capital LLC deploys capital directly, it acts as the direct investment and financing counterparty, including in debt financing, equity participation, and strategic joint-venture transactions. The majority of our deployed capital originates from our own direct investment portfolios and Group resources, while certain external capital relationships and sources are maintained on a confidential basis in accordance with applicable commercial and contractual arrangements.
