ESIC’s Corporate Values are founded on:
A prominent investment company Emirates Strategic Investment Company LLC (ESIC) is mandated to achieve significant financial returns through amalgamating assets with a primary focus on real estate, equity investments and other specialized investments, positioning and integrating ESIC’s diversified portfolio within the global economy.
Over the past decade, the Group and its affiliates have engaged in diversified equity investments within prominent companies across various sectors. Some notable investments include First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) and Air Arabia. At our firm, we take a systematic approach to evaluating economic drivers and industry fundamentals in order to construct a sustainable, liquid, and long-term investment portfolio. This allows us to produce the best possible risk-adjusted returns by investing in companies that demonstrate sound management, strong financial performance, and strong corporate governance.
Additionally, the Group has redefined the real estate business, modernizing and advancing the industry by fostering a culture of partnerships in which all clients and listings are represented in an ethical and shared environment. Evolving the traditional model of how real estate is practiced, our forward-thinking property experts share their knowledge, areas of influence, contacts and expertise, ensuring clients a better representation and a true competitive edge.
Our approach has proven highly successful. Since its inception, the Group has grown an extensive diversified investment portfolio and property management portfolio constituting residential, commercial & retail properties. Additionally, the Group has vast residential & commercial sales experience and established itself as a prominent player in the real estate market, representing many of the country’s most visible & notable properties.
It all started over a decade ago with the UAE thriving and lending itself to our successful history of organic growth and strategic acquisitions by envisioning we could do things differently. This was the start of the journey that sets us apart today.
We developed a unique platform that equips us to capture opportunities wherever they emerge throughout the UAE. Bringing this vision to a life shaped our new company, and the same attitude remains in place today. The Group remains steadfast and driven by the same values that defined our early days with an entrepreneurial spirit committed to innovation and a focus on the long-term.
As our business evolves and economies transform, we adapt, and our business prolongs. Fundamental to our success is upholding strong corporate governance, instilling a sense of ownership making everyone accountable for their performance through a shared pioneering spirit. At the same time, communication is vital for our culture to remain perpetual. Additionally, we pride ourselves on being ambitious and sincere, fostering ESIC with solid commitments to customers, communities, employees, shareholders and the environment. ESIC’s leadership and vision bring together what we believe are the essential requisites for maintaining the long-term sustainability and growth of our Group.
Through integrated initiatives, ESIC will continue striving toward its vision of industry leadership and sustainability goals. Our commitment will continue to work to extend our performance in areas where results are already strong while diligently identifying the most significant opportunities for continued growth.
Thank you for your ongoing interest in ESIC.
