Mubarak & Brothers Investments

Overview

MBI was formed in 2003 as a dedicated investment entity for the Al Fahim family, whose core industrial fortune traces back to Al Fahim Group — a conglomerate with roots in automotive, real estate, and engineering across the Emirates. H.E. Saeed Abdul Jalil Al Fahim serves as Chairman, providing continuity with the family's broader operating businesses. Investment deployment centers on direct ownership of UAE real estate and operating businesses. Confirmed assets include Deerfields Mall in Al Bahya, a community retail center that has won recognition from the Middle East Council of Shopping Centres, and the adjacent Al Bahya mixed-use development. Sector reach extends into hospitality, food and beverage, education, and manufacturing, with the firm also operating an engineering services division and a retail services arm. The One Stop Centre in Abu Dhabi is listed among its portfolio holdings. Geographically, all identified assets are domestic — concentrated in Abu Dhabi, primarily the Al Bahya district — with no disclosed international holdings. The team size and aggregate deployment are undisclosed. MBI maintains active institutional affiliations through the Chairman's role leading the German-Emirati Joint Council for Industry and Commerce, and the firm's membership in the Middle East Council of Shopping Centres and the International Council of Shopping Centers. Philanthropic activity runs through the Abdul Jalil Al Fahim & Sons Endowment, with a documented partnership to support campus development for the Special Care Centre in Abu Dhabi. A structural differentiator is the dual anchor of a legacy operating conglomerate, Al Fahim Group, alongside a discrete investment arm. While many family offices separate entirely from the operating business, MBI's Chairman retains oversight of both, creating a direct conduit between industrial cash flows and property-level investment decisions. This architecture enables multi-decade hold periods for real estate and operating subsidiaries without the pressure of external LP timelines, making MBI structurally closer to a holding company than a conventional asset manager.
