The Royal Investment Summit

There has never been a better time for the region’s leaders to come together to share their expertise and navigate the challenges.

In conjunction with our partners, we are bringing you the The Royal Investment Summit, a look at innovative solutions and investment propositions.

The Ultra Exclusive Summit hosted by H.E. Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Duaij bin Khalifa al Khalifa Private Office, is an ideal opportunity for UHW Private Investors, Royal Family members, Prominent Business Owners, Holdings from around the world, to evaluate the best investment opportunities.

To assure the Summit is embellished with extensive and diversified content, we have listed more than 300 Family Offices in the region to handpick the most relevant and pioneer in the field. The Summit reflects the feedback collected from a plethora of the most notable investors, economists, and business consultants, to optimize the participation of all involved delegates.

GCC Focus Track

Embedded within the Royal Investment Summit 2021, the event will extend its focus to include the GCC market and other global markets, which will not only boost participating businesses from different parts of the world, but also unify the global market under the same business purpose.
When seeking ways to increase investment portfolio exposure to enlarge and capitalize on fruitful opportunities, international investment comes on top of the list. With the popularity of emerging markets, the need to hedge interest rate risk, and global issues like the energy crisis, there is always a reason to include foreign investments as part of an investment strategy
