Our investment business

A private investment and advisory group based in Dubai.

What Else Management FZCO, trading as The What Else Group, identifies and assesses investment opportunities with a focus on real estate, development finance and commercial partnerships.

We deploy our own capital and pursue selected transactions with developers and joint venture partners. Each opportunity is considered on its commercial merits, proposed structure, counterparties and route to realising value.

Alongside our investment activity, we provide business improvement and investment consulting to individuals and businesses. Our directors bring operating experience across mining, manufacturing, transport and pharmaceutical businesses, together with experience in commercial real estate finance.

Investment focus

Where we look for opportunity.

We consider a range of investment strategies, including the following areas. Every opportunity is assessed on its own merits, with attention to counterparties, asset quality, structure and a credible exit.

Underwriting

We assess selected transactions where risks can be understood and priced, exposure can be structured and a credible exit can be identified.

  • Counterparty and asset assessment
  • Risk pricing and transaction structure
  • Defined exposure and exit pathways

Joint Ventures

We work alongside developers and business partners where capital, expertise and responsibilities can be aligned around a clear commercial opportunity.

  • Aligned partner objectives
  • Defined responsibilities and governance
  • Agreed funding and exit arrangements

Secured Construction Loans

We evaluate secured construction finance opportunities with attention to the borrower, project feasibility, security, delivery programme and source of repayment.

  • Borrower and project due diligence
  • Security and drawdown structure
  • Repayment and ongoing monitoring

Distressed Asset Purchases

We look for assets where the acquisition price, underlying value and a practical repositioning or exit plan support the investment case.

  • Evidence of underlying value
  • Title, liabilities and transaction risks
  • Repositioning and exit options
