Al Khayyat Investments
Al Khayyat Investments traces its roots to an Emirati family business active for more than four decades. The group built operating companies in the UAE and GCC before formalizing the investment office structure. The firm allocates across direct co-investments and SPVs in healthcare distribution, retail brands and logistics infrastructure. Confirmed positions include distribution agreements with L'Oréal skincare lines and Holland & Barrett stores in the UAE, plus a fulfillment center under development in Dubai Industrial City. Activity spans the Middle East and selected African markets. No headcount or AUM figures appear in public materials. The group maintains a horticulture nursery network and warehouse facilities in Dubai Investment Park. November 2025 memoranda with Cainiao and BioBAY added logistics and life-sciences exposure. Governance remains inside the founding family with no external limited partners disclosed. Operating businesses such as AKI Consumer Goods and AKI Logistics generate the cash flows that fund new deployments.
