Signature Approach
From portfolio
to listed fund.
Most family offices and holding groups own their real estate the way they built it — privately, asset by asset, under-leveraged and illiquid. Crosspoint's signature engagement turns that portfolio into a rated, financed and ultimately listed institution — acting as the independent architect that convenes the bank, the rating agencies and the investment manager around the family, and unlocking capital and international investors while the family keeps control and income.

The pathway
Five steps, one destination
- 1
Consolidate & structure
Contribute the portfolio in-kind into a single regulated, Shari'ah-compliant, ESG-focused vehicle — with institutional governance (advisory, investment and Shari'a boards) and a professional investment manager. One portfolio, one balance sheet, one standard.
- 2
Optimise & certify
Active management to grow value and cashflow — value engineering, repositioning, stronger tenant profiles — with ESG certification and diversification, including European assets funded by low-cost Euro debt to cut single-market concentration.
- 3
Achieve an investment-grade rating
Position the vehicle for a rating from Moody's, S&P or Fitch at conservative leverage (≤ 40% LTV) — the credential that opens institutional debt and equity markets.
- 4
Access the capital markets
Issue sukuk, bonds or structured credit against the rated portfolio to release liquidity — recycling capital into new assets without selling the crown jewels.
- 5
List & unlock value
Take the vehicle to a regulated listing — a REIT-like fund on an international exchange — to crystallise value, welcome GCC and international shareholders, and create permanent liquidity.

Proven at scale
This is not theory. Crosspoint originated and structured exactly this — a USD 1–2 billion combined GCC-European vehicle — and brought together the institutions to deliver it: a leading Abu Dhabi holding group as sponsor, a global coordinating bank, and an international real-estate investment manager. Crosspoint's role is the one an institution can't play for itself — the independent architect that aligns the family, the bank and the manager around a single structure. Behind that sits a career operator's toolkit: five international sukuk issuances, credit ratings across all four major agencies, an IPO-track REIT spin-off, and a DIFC/DFSA-licensed fund platform.
