At ALTInvest 2026, held on 16 September at The St. Regis Downtown Dubai, our Founder & Chairman Ahmad Saidali hosted a private boardroom titled “Heritage, Legacy and the Future of Family Capital: How to Structure for Continuity and Long-Term Performance.”
The session addressed a question many families now face. External pressures are testing family governance structures as never before, and portfolios must be structured for continuity across generations.
“Families protect wealth across generations when governance, liquidity and succession are designed together. Real estate has to sit inside that design from the start.”


Real estate remains a central component of family wealth and must be considered alongside governance, liquidity, succession and the wider portfolio.
ALTInvest brings together investors and allocators active in GCC private markets for a day of focused discussion. Ahmad represented Redwood Heritage Real Estate throughout the event.
“The families we advise want property that serves the next generation as well as this one. That begins with structure, long before the purchase.”
