GRC Investment Group
GRC Investment Group was founded by Kamil Homsi to manage capital originating from large-scale cross-border real estate activity. The Homsi family office operates alongside original members from the Kuwaiti royal family, whose networks extend into other GCC royal families, and maintains a formal onshore advisory arm — Global Realty Capital LLC in New York — that provides alternative-asset guidance to other high-net-worth families across private equity, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure, and natural resources. The firm pursues direct investments and co-investments across real estate, renewable energy, waste-management technologies, FinTech, medical devices, and life sciences. Confirmed real-asset positions include a Mid-Atlantic warehouse portfolio, Northern US data centers, a residential development in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, and a US life-sciences center. The firm also holds direct digital-asset and oil-and-energy exposures. Geographic coverage spans the Middle East, North America, and Iberia, with Kamil Homsi's GRI Institute committee role for light industrial and logistics reinforcing a disciplined thematic focus on supply-chain real assets. Homsi's professional networks include the Opal Group family-office circuit, the Family Office Club's summit series, and the Family Stewardship Council. The firm also participates in mentoring and philanthropic efforts alongside Ulrich Schmid-Maybach through the Maybach Foundation. João Oliveira leads GRC's Iberian real estate operations via the GRC IM partnership, while Homsi's past due-diligence collaboration with a UAE sovereign wealth fund signals institutional-quality deal-evaluation processes applied to the family's own book. GRC's structural signature is the deliberate pairing of a Middle Eastern single-family-office core with a regulated US advisory platform. Global Realty Capital creates a two-way bridge: the family office can co-invest alongside other private families sourced through the advisory business, while clients of Global Realty Capital gain access to the same asset-class mix — real estate, infrastructure, natural resources, and private equity — that GRC deploys for its own principals. This hybrid architecture turns a single-family office into a deal-syndication node without converting to a multi-family-office model.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at GRC?
Founder and CEO Kamil Homsi drives investment decisions. He is supported by regional partners including João Oliveira for Iberian real estate operations, while the firm's New York-based advisory platform, Global Realty Capital, provides additional sourcing and due-diligence infrastructure.
Is GRC a single-family office, or does it take outside capital?
GRC is structured as a single-family office managing Homsi family capital and that of original members of the Kuwaiti royal family. It does not accept outside LP commitments. However, the affiliated entity Global Realty Capital in New York operates as an advisory and placement platform for other high-net-worth families, creating co-investment opportunities that sometimes run alongside GRC's own book.
What sectors does GRC explicitly avoid?
GRC has not published a formal exclusion list. Its stated integration of ESG and decarbonization principles — combined with specific allocations to renewable energy and circular-economy technologies — suggests fossil-fuel exploration and high-carbon-intensity heavy industry are not active targets, though the recognized oil-and-energy exposure indicates the firm maintains legacy or transition-era energy positions.
Does GRC invest in funds or only direct deals?
GRC's investment structure emphasizes direct investments and co-investment SPVs across real estate, renewable energy, FinTech, and life sciences. The firm has not disclosed a fund-of-funds allocation program. Its New York advisory arm, Global Realty Capital, advises families on alternative assets including private equity and venture capital fund commitments, but GRC's own deployment appears primarily direct.
What is GRC's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
Co-investment is central to GRC's model. The firm operates both as a direct co-investor through its family office book and as a facilitator via Global Realty Capital's advisory relationships. Homsi's network — spanning Opal Group forums, the Family Office Club, the Family Stewardship Council, and the GRI Institute — positions GRC as an active club-deal participant rather than a passive check-writer.
