From Principle
to Principal
The Hayaat Group is a family investment legacy, committed to building enduring value across sectors and geographies. Founded by the entrepreneurial Elahi family, the group is driven by discipline, a global outlook, and the flexibility of principal capital.
We began with the UK real estate market, expanding into new markets, and further growing globally with venture capital and growth equity. Ever evolving, yet anchored in our values of purposeful investing, responsible stewardship, and a belief in the power of aligned partnerships. Today, the group is led by a cross-generational team, actively shaping future initiatives and leading investments across sectors.

Passion-Forward
A zeal for ‘disruptors’, driving investments in developed, emerging, and frontier markets, that goes beyond traditional private equity constraints.
Patient Partnership
Shared purpose, risks and rewards, based on mutual trust and values for co-prosperity. Partnering founders, management, and co-investors
Proactive Collaboration

Capital Growth
Making a significant impact in the UK and UAE real estate markets, the Elahi family expanded its footprint from urban regeneration projects and residential communities to high-growth, financial ventures in the UK, UAE, South Asia, and beyond. As a global, cross-generational and multi-asset investment firm, the Hayaat Group continues to enrich its experience, broaden its scope, and stay focused on long-term value creation. With each investment, we build on our foundation of trust, ambition, and impact, ensuring that we prosper with purpose, energized by the vision of the future.
