Capital deployed intelligently is the ultimate competitive advantage.
The Gulf's sovereign wealth landscape, Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 investment pipeline, and Spain's position as the gateway to Latin American capital markets create an exceptional opportunity set for investors who understand the terrain. ILS Consultancy provides investment advisory that combines deep local intelligence with cross-border transaction experience — from deal origination through structuring, execution, and portfolio management.
Why Investment Advisory Requires Local Intelligence
Capital Structuring
Advisory on the optimal capital structure for cross-border investments — equity, debt, mezzanine, and hybrid instruments — across UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Spain, accounting for tax, regulatory, and commercial considerations.
M&A Transaction Support
Buy-side and sell-side advisory for cross-border M&A across our three core markets — including deal origination, due diligence coordination, negotiation support, and transaction structuring.
Portfolio Strategy
Strategic advisory for family offices, sovereign-linked investors, and institutional allocators on portfolio construction, asset allocation, and diversification across Gulf and European markets.
Our Investment Advisory Advantage
Origination Network
Access to off-market deal flow across Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Spain through our established networks with family offices, developers, and Vision 2030-aligned project sponsors.
Cross-Border Execution
Transaction management capability spanning all three jurisdictions simultaneously — essential for deals that involve assets, entities, or capital flows across multiple markets.
Regulatory Alignment
Investment structures designed from the outset to satisfy the regulatory requirements of all relevant jurisdictions — avoiding costly restructuring post-completion.
Our Investment Advisory Process
A disciplined process from mandate definition through execution and portfolio monitoring.
Mandate Definition
We define the investment mandate precisely — target sectors, geographies, return profile, risk tolerance, time horizon, and exit strategy — to ensure every subsequent step is aligned.
Deal Origination & Screening
We source opportunities through our proprietary network, screening against mandate criteria and conducting preliminary commercial and regulatory assessment before presenting to you.
Due Diligence & Structuring
We coordinate full commercial, legal, tax, and financial due diligence, and design the optimal investment structure for the specific transaction and jurisdiction combination.
Execution & Post-Investment
We manage transaction execution through to completion and provide ongoing portfolio monitoring, value creation advisory, and exit preparation support.

Gulf Family Office — Cross-Border Real Estate Portfolio
Building a diversified real estate portfolio spanning Dubai, Riyadh, and Madrid
The Challenge
A Gulf-based family office sought to diversify a concentrated UAE real estate portfolio into Saudi Arabia and Spain, while maintaining an optimal holding structure for inheritance, tax, and liquidity management across all three jurisdictions.
Our Approach
ILS Consultancy designed a three-tier holding structure with UAE intermediate holdco, originated off-market assets in Riyadh's expanding residential market and Madrid's trophy commercial sector, and coordinated simultaneous acquisition processes across all three markets.
The Outcome
Portfolio of USD 85M established across three jurisdictions within 14 months. Holding structure reduced effective inheritance tax exposure by 60% and enabled tax-efficient dividend repatriation to the Gulf.
