Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at T-Invest?
Youssef N. Tohme chairs and leads T-Invest Group, overseeing the firm's direct holdings and strategic direction. He is also the Chairman of Almabani, the family's construction firm,. Investment decisions appear concentrated at the principal level, without a publicly identified separate investment committee.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
The wealth originates from Almabani, a Saudi Arabia-based construction and infrastructure contractor co-founded by Youssef Tohme's family and the late Kamal Adham. Almabani was a key contractor on major Saudi projects including the Riyadh Metro. The family's industrial earnings were later diversified into real estate development, hospitality, and media holdings.
How is T-Invest related to Almabani?
T-Invest is the investment vehicle of the family that controls Almabani. Youssef Tohme chairs both entities. While Almabani remains an operating construction contractor focused on Saudi infrastructure, T-Invest holds the family's diversified portfolio of real estate, hospitality, and media assets across Europe and the Middle East.
Does T-Invest participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Based on its disclosed holdings, T-Invest operates through direct asset ownership rather than limited partner commitments to external funds. Its known positions — including Raffles Makkah Palace, Brazza Development in Bordeaux, and MTV Lebanon — are all directly held operating companies or physical properties, indicating a preference for control and operational involvement.
Does T-Invest maintain philanthropic structures, and how are they separated?
Yes, the family operates the Nehme & Therese Tohme Foundation, co-chaired by Nehme Tohme, a former Lebanese MP. The foundation is a legally distinct entity from the T-Invest corporate portfolio, though both are tied to the same family's wealth and governance structures. The foundation's specific grantmaking focus areas are not publicly detailed.
