Who We Are

Al Liwan Group

Headquartered in Abu Dhabi, Al Liwan Group is a full-service investment bank built to bridge the Middle East with global opportunities — serving as a trusted partner to families, institutions, and sovereign investors.

In Arabic, Liwan refers to a welcoming space within a home — a place of openness, hospitality, and connection. Inspired by this meaning, Al Liwan acts as a bridge between regional ambition and global opportunity.

We advise, structure, and invest in ventures shaping the Middle East’s economic transformation and long-term prosperity. Guided by a belief in partnership, stewardship, and sustainable growth, our integrated platform combines strategic advisory, asset management, and principal investment expertise to deliver insight, capital, and execution across borders.

Our vision is to build the Middle East’s first truly global, full-service investment bank.

Your Goals Are Our Top Priority.
