24th Family Office Forum Riyadh

Hosted under the chandeliers of the Ritz-Carlton Riyadh, the 24th Family Office Forum captures the Gulf’s vast private-wealth landscape at a pivotal moment in Vision 2030 implementation. Day 1 focuses on governance, with case studies from multigenerational Saudi conglomerates navigating succession transitions. Maltese advisers lead a workshop on Protected Cell Foundation structures for Sharia-compliant philanthropy—a legal hybrid allowed under Maltese law that isolates zakat obligations. Day 2 shifts to private markets: SWF co-investment trends, renewable-energy SPACs, and cross-border REITs dominate panels, offering Malta’s fund managers a gateway to $90 billion in Gulf dry powder. Impact MENA curates a social-impact pitch session where fintech-for-good start-ups from Malta vie for seed capital. Cultural immersion—including a performance by the Royal Saudi Orchestra—cements relationship-building crucial for Gulf business ethos. The forum’s curated delegate list (capped at 250) ensures meaningful interaction, propelling strategic alliances that often culminate in Malta-domiciled co-investment vehicles.
