Our global connections and diverse interests allow us to spot potential across a wide spectrum of traditional and alternative investments such as real estate, technology, and art & design.
We only embrace opportunities that dare to be different and constantly challenge the status quo.
Our Name
Vivium was inspired by the Latin word ‘ad vivum’ which means desiring to depict the true likeness of life driven by a need to be diligent, precise and authentic.
Our Identity
Our brand colour is a specific shade of blue which was first mixed by the influential artist, Yves Klein (1928-1962) who believed it to be the only colour “beyond dimensions”.
We thoughtfully curate our investments to create synergy and amplify the collective value.
We believe in the power of ideas. As leaders, we seek to inspire our stakeholders, employees, and broader community to achieve more.
We are diligent and meticulous in our approach, and take pride in celebrating the success of our teams, partners, and collaborators.

We surround ourselves with the most creative minds. We believe in being hungry, constantly learning, adapting, and improving.
Humility for us is about being selfless; having the ability to listen, being open to ideas and celebrating success is key.
We believe in working with wonderful people to connect, curate and craft beautiful things.
We’re well diversified across a range of asset classes, including private and public equity, venture capital, real estate and other alternative investments. Everything we invest in is led by a love of craftsmanship and curiosity.
We have a keen interest in investing in luxury, design-led residential and hospitality properties. We’re active in the sectors of development, ownership, hospitality, and advisory across the GCC and in key European markets, such as the UK, Greece, and Portugal.
With a solid range of interests in tech and start-ups, our core investments are focussed on sectors that dovetail with the rest of our portfolio, including emerging opportunities in FinTech, PropTech and ArtTech.
This theme is a direct reflection of our founder’s passion and patronage of the arts. This is complemented by an investment portfolio in fine wines and luxury watches, as well as partnerships with leading European premium furniture and design brands.
