The Pearl Family Office

The Pearl Family Office

Ihab Al-Derzi established The Pearl Family Office in 2020. Its investable wealth originates from Al-Derzi’s private-banking career serving Gulf entrepreneurs, athletes and entertainment figures. The firm allocates across real estate, private equity and venture capital. It executes direct co-investments and SPVs rather than broad fund commitments. Confirmed positions include a seed round in Go-Eve, an electric-vehicle charging company that secured a US patent, alongside Cur8 Capital, Kero Development Partners, Carter Gem Group and Automotive Ventures. All activity remains within Europe, with the large majority of assets in the United Kingdom. Real-estate holdings comprise a 250-acre estate in the Home Counties, two Grade II listed freehold buildings in central London arranged as 23 apartments, and a 10,000 sq ft town-centre retail parade twelve miles outside London. No public data exist on total professionals or assets under management. The firm maintains its headquarters at 27 Dover Street in Mayfair. In December 2023 it opened a flagship store on Oxford Street for the coffee business in which it holds a majority stake; the same business had already opened a Mayfair location after re-branding. The Pearl Family Office operates as a multi-family platform built around one principal’s banking relationships. It therefore sources opportunities through that network rather than through institutional fund channels or broad LP syndicates.
