Investing for the long term
Our principal investment business grew from the strength of our operating companies, giving us the capital to invest more widely.
Today we make direct investments across India and the Gulf, in sectors where our experience and relationships add value.
We invest the family’s own capital, which allows us to take a long-term view and to hold our investments through cycles. Our investments are concentrated rather than spread, and made in sectors adjacent to what we know: real estate, hospitality and the businesses that serve them.
Financially, UBF is a sound and credible partner, with a strong balance sheet and no external fund obligations.
Long-term capital, invested with conviction, creates lasting value for our partners and for the markets we invest in.
Capital
Direct Investment
Concentrated positions, long horizons
We invest directly in businesses and assets, taking meaningful positions in a small number of opportunities that we know well.
We favour ownership or influence, and companies where our capital and experience can help build something lasting.
Cities
Co-Investment and Partnerships
We invest alongside partners who bring complementary strengths: an operator, a market, a specialism.
Our partnerships are structured simply and built to last.
