HISTORY
Contra Investment is a second generation group of companies incorporated as a family office which has been working from early 1960 in both the Middle East and Europe. The company is well diversified and has interests in Real estate, Real estate development, Financial services, Technology, Security, Energy, Satellite solutions and Food/beverage. In 2006 the company grew as a separate entity from the main family group with a vision to focus on areas in which we have an expert understanding and can further add value. We continue the philosophy of the founding family to develop an ever growing reach and maintain a solidified connection in the Middle East, Europe and the United States of America. Together we have been operating for more than 50 years and have established a highly reputable group of companies with a major role in development opportunities in the Middle East and Worldwide.
HOW WE WORK
WE INVEST
We invest in companies which are already generating money and making profit whilst believing in their future for further expansion. Such investment usually qualifies as a strategic investment, where we will implement our expertise in developing the company in the most cost effective business model. We can also help the company to raise further investment, if we believe they need such for expansion.
WE CO-INVEST
We co-invest with other strategic investors who we believe can add a value to the group, rather than singularly taking a lead on any one deal. Such co-investment means we will co-lead a deal along with another business group or partners who will invest with us in strategic stake in either existing business we run or in future deals we or our co-partner identified.
WE HELP
We help in developing the business model of the company without direct investment but via expanding their customer reach into areas which have previously remained untouched. We can help to leverage services via our existing clients and group of companies, which include more than thirty fully operational groups operating mainly in Middle East and Europe and servicing more than 250 active clients worldwide.
