The room where Gulf capital connects.

Curated. Confidential. Capital.

The Diwan is a private membership council for senior investors, investment managers and business leaders shaping cross-border opportunities across the GCC.

Private Investment Council

The Diwan is a private investment council built around one principle: the quality of the room matters.

Membership brings senior decision-makers into a year-round GCC community of investors, investment managers, CEOs and strategic business leaders.

Throughout the year, The Diwan convenes small, private Councils in key GCC markets — creating the setting for serious conversations, trusted relationships and cross-border opportunities.

Capital
Follows Presence.

A Year Around Council.

One membership.
One community.

The Diwan operates throughout the year, convening private Councils across the GCC.

Each Council brings together a carefully composed group of senior principals for a focused boardroom conversation followed by a private dinner.

Members are not buying tickets to individual events. They are joining a continuing investment community.

A Year Around Council.

90 minutes of conversation.
An evening around the table.

Each Diwan Council is deliberately intimate.

The evening begins with a 90-minute closed boardroom conversation, conducted under the Chatham House Rule, followed by a private four-course dinner.

No stages.
No panels.
No exhibition floor.
No microphones.

Just a carefully selected room and a conversation worth having.

All Council discussions operate under the Chatham House Rule.

Participants may use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of any participant may be revealed without permission.

The objective is simple:

Create a room where senior people can speak openly.

The Rule

What is said in
The Diwan
stays in The Diwan.

Capital Follows Presence.

Whether you are a senior leader seeking a peer-level council or a firm looking to frame the strategic dialogue for the world's top allocators, your journey begins with a confidential inquiry.
