Stonegate Capital has announced the launch of a family office in Dubai, created exclusively to coordinate and advance the substantial global financial, investment and strategic interests of an established UK-based family with business and investment interests spanning multiple sectors and jurisdictions, with artificial intelligence embedded across its operating infrastructure and investment processes.

Stonegate Capital combines experienced investment judgement, institutional governance and long-term family alignment with an operating model built around artificial intelligence, data-driven systems and automation.

 AN AI-FIRST OPERATING MODEL

Stonegate Capital is being designed around AI from inception, rather than adding technology to a legacy family office model. AI-enabled systems will support opportunity identification, research, financial modelling, due diligence, scenario analysis, portfolio oversight, risk monitoring, consolidated reporting and operational workflows.

The result is to give the firm’s investment professionals faster, deeper and more consistent insights, while preserving the importance of human experience and judgement, disciplined governance and clear accountability.

 A FAMILY OFFICE WITH GLOBAL REACH

Stonegate Capital acts as the central coordinator of the family’s financial and strategic affairs. Its bespoke mandate includes investment analysis and oversight, coordination of the overall investment management framework, consolidated reporting, family governance, banking coordination, succession and legacy planning, philanthropy, administrative support and the coordination of legal, tax and structuring matters with appropriately qualified professional advisers.

For public-market portfolios, Stonegate Capital helps the family define investment objectives and the asset-allocation framework, assess proposals from financial institutions, select and review asset managers and banking partners, manage risk and monitor performance across institutions.

For private-market opportunities, Stonegate Capital supports origination, analysis and commercial assessment, due diligence, structuring coordination and ongoing monitoring.

Stonegate Capital provides a central oversight framework across the family’s portfolio, prioritising governance and risk management led by the established Investment committee and in coordination with the family’s Investor Policy Statement.

AN ACTIVE INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT PROGRAMME

Stonegate Capital enters the market with established momentum. During 2026, the platform supported the family in completing transactions in both the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia and is currently coordinating and evaluating a broad pipeline of potential transactions across private markets, real assets and growth businesses.

Stonegate Capital has already received widespread interest due to its experienced team, AI-first approach and deal pipeline, as a result of which it aims to develop relationships with a select group of aligned family offices and institutional partners. Where those parties independently decide to evaluate an opportunity alongside the family, Stonegate Capital can coordinate information, due diligence and professional workstreams, with each participating party remaining responsible for its own investment decision, funding arrangements and execution.

The wider investment framework spans public markets, direct investments, private equity, real estate, alternative assets and selected strategic opportunities.

 BUILDING AN EXCEPTIONAL TEAM

Stonegate Capital has assembled an exceptional leadership team drawn from leading global financial institutions and prominent family offices.  Announcements of the senior leadership appointments will be made in the coming days.

The wider team brings together expertise across portfolio construction, direct investing, financial governance, cross-border structuring, risk, transaction execution and family office operations.  Stonegate Capital will continue to selectively recruit talent as it expands its institutional capability.

 A LONG-TERM COMMITMENT TO DUBAI

The launch represents a significant long-term commitment to the United Arab Emirates and reflects the founding family’s confidence in Dubai as a leading international centre for private capital, enterprise, technology and investment.

Stonegate Capital intends to develop multi-decade relationships with other family offices, entrepreneurs, investment managers, financial institutions and strategic partners across the UAE, the wider MENA region and key international markets. It is selectively expanding its investment network while developing relationships with families that value discretion, alignment, institutional quality, and long-term value creation.
