The world's most valuable companies no longer ring opening bells. They compound quietly — owned by institutions, endowments and the families who were invited early. Vault opens that door for UAE investors.
More than 8,000 companies traded on U.S. exchanges. When a great business mattered, you could own it through any brokerage account.
Abundant private capital let companies stay private three times longer. The median age at IPO stretched from 4 years to 12+ — and the steepest growth happened before listing.
Around 4,300 listed companies remain, while ~87% of large companies stay private. The compounding didn't stop. It moved behind the wall.
Start with a typical all-public portfolio, then carve out a private-market sleeve. The illiquidity premium private assets have historically earned looks small on paper — until you let it compound.
Both lines start from the same capital today. The shaded band is the private premium — the extra value your blended portfolio is projected to build over a 100%-public one.
This tool is for illustration only and does not represent the performance of any Vault product or a forecast of returns. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Private-market investments are illiquid, involve a risk of loss including total loss of capital, and are intended for professional and sophisticated investors who can bear that risk.
Five distinct asset classes, each with a different job. Keep scrolling to walk the shelf.
Ownership in established private companies, improved and grown over years before a sale or listing. The engine behind much of private markets' long-term outperformance.
Lending directly to private businesses, often at floating rates with strong protections. Contractual income, largely independent of public bond markets.
Early-stage equity in high-growth companies. Wide dispersion of outcomes, with outsized returns concentrated in a small number of winners.
Direct and fund-based ownership of income-producing property. Tangible, familiar, and a classic hedge against inflation with steady distributions.
Essential, long-life assets — energy, transport, digital — with contracted, often inflation-linked cash flows designed for decades of durable income.
For four decades, leading university endowments have outperformed conventional portfolios with one structural decision: a heavy, patient allocation to private assets. Most individual portfolios never get close — not because the strategy is secret, but because the access wasn't there. That's changing.
Answer honestly. We'll tell you honestly — including if the answer is "not yet."
The hard part isn't finding private deals — it's choosing the right ones and sizing them correctly within your wider plan. That's where we work.
A screened set of institutional-grade managers and deals — not a marketplace of everything. Fewer, better decisions.
By aggregating client commitments, Vault reaches funds and entry points usually reserved for nine-figure allocators.
Private allocations are built around your liquidity needs, horizon and goals — never bolted on in isolation.
Public, private and everything in between, overseen together by an advisor who knows your full picture.
It varies across private-market funds — and starts lower than most people expect, from as little as USD 25,000. Your advisor will confirm the exact minimums for the opportunities that fit your plan.
It varies from fund to fund. Some offer liquidity on a frequent basis; others lock in investments for longer terms in exchange for higher return potential. Speak to us and we'll walk you through the liquidity profile of each opportunity before you commit a dirham.
Loss of capital, including total loss. Valuations that lag reality. And wide dispersion — the gap between top- and bottom-quartile private managers is far larger than in public funds, which is precisely why selection and diversification matter more here than anywhere else in your portfolio.
Private-market opportunities at Vault are available to professional and sophisticated investors as defined under applicable UAE regulations. Eligibility is assessed during onboarding — before any investment discussion, not after.
