The United Arab Emirates is rated as one of the world’s top emerging markets, and although the region’s incredible rate of economic and physical growth has slowed in the aftermath of the global financial crisis and resultant economic downturn, there is still an abundance of investment opportunities for those who know where to look.
As an investment company initially focused on real estate and financial services, Emirates Investments Group sources unique business opportunities in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia. We identify new prospects and well reputed companies in target sectors with a view to create a suitable financial product. Our investment portfolio has expanded to include Trading, Industry and Aviation.
We pride ourselves on adding value in the development phase of an investment, through providing sound due-diligence, access to our network of first- and second-tier investors, global alliances, and legal and financial expertise. Successful project development is carried through to the subsequent handing over to the day-to-day management, while retaining substantial long-term revenue enhancement.
Emirates Investments Group is continuously exploring new avenues of investment, both locally and abroad, and as business relationships continue to develop throughout the Middle East, we are focused on capitalising on the investment opportunities that are arising from the current situation.
At Emirates Investments Group we have a clear vision for the future: We are determined to play a significant role in ensuring viable investment opportunities in the United Arab Emirates and throughout the surrounding regions. And as a dynamic and focused investment group, we look forward to continuing to serve the interests of our shareholders, our clients, our employees and the communities in which we operate
