Forfait · Abu Dhabi · est. 2026

Capital intelligence
for the GCC and MENA.

Forfait is the platform behind institutional capital deployment in the region. Audit-chained country intelligence, vetted private-market opportunities, and active mandates — under one membership.

What we do

Three surfaces, one membership.

Module 1

Country Intelligence

Forty-seven indicators per country, five analytical frameworks (Forfait Signature, Heritage Lens, IMF Article IV, WEF Pillars, PRS ICRG), eight scenario presets, and a PESTLE composite — all sourced live from World Bank, WHO, OECD, and IMF. Side-by-side comparison and PDF export.

Module 2

Opportunity Marketplace

A private deal feed of curated mandates — capital raises, partnership offers, sectoral plays — submitted by vetted contributors and reviewed by Forfait. Members request access on a per-opportunity basis; deal sponsors receive intent signals.

Module 3

Active Mandates

Where Forfait acts directly. Exclusive capital-raise mandates that the firm leads end-to-end — materials, investor outreach, structuring, board liaison. Members get first-look access to mandates aligned with their thesis.

The ecosystem

One membership. The whole journey.

From deciding where to set up, to legal and capital, to trade, mandates, mobility and the introductions that connect them - Forfait runs the full arc. One identity, one standard, across every surface.

How we work

Restraint by design.

01

Audit chain on every action

Every read, every download, every access grant is recorded in an append-only audit chain. Platform principals can verify the integrity at any time.

02

Data residency by region

Member data is partitioned by jurisdiction (UAE/GCC, EU, US conditional). What sits where is a configuration choice, not an accident.

03

No advertising. Ever.

The platform monetises through memberships and mandate success. Members are clients, not inventory. There are no third-party trackers and no ad placements.

04

KYC before access

Marketplace and mandate access requires verified identity, source-of-funds attestation, and accreditation review. Onboarding takes 2-5 business days.

Membership is by application.

We onboard institutions and accredited individuals who can underwrite the opportunities we surface. Apply with a brief on your mandate and we will respond within five business days.
