Capital Generation Partners Family Office
Capital Generation Partners Family Office was founded in 2007 by members of the Said family. Wafic Saïd seeded the firm with capital from construction and investment activities. Khaled Saïd serves as managing partner. The office maintains a London headquarters and works with select external families and institutions. The firm deploys capital across public equities, hedge funds, private equity, real estate and digital assets. It uses direct co-investments, SPVs and fund-of-funds structures. Confirmed holdings include positions in PropTech and real estate. Activity spans Europe and North America. Long-term risk-adjusted returns guide allocation decisions rather than short-term benchmarks. The office employs an institutional research process alongside bespoke client service. It maintains relationships with the Saïd Foundation and the Lucille Foundation. Tusmore Park Estate in Oxfordshire and a Central London commercial portfolio form part of the real-asset exposure. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in public records. The multi-family structure allows Capital Generation Partners to combine the Said family’s balance sheet with external mandates. This creates a hybrid model that sources co-investments through both proprietary networks and third-party managers while preserving family control over core decisions.
