Our Single Family Office looks for both direct and co-investment opportunities within our primary sectors
Our Investment Scope
We are a third-generation Portuguese-origin Single Family Office, previously focused on Real Estate with developments in Portugal and, more recently, clean-energy solutions in West Africa.
At the start of the 2000s, we began diversifying our investment strategy across different asset classes and risk profiles. Since then, we have expanded our interests globally, with activity in key financial and innovation hubs such as Zurich, Singapore, Dubai, Hong Kong, New York, and London.
Our leadership team brings over 100 years of combined experience, drawing from careers in executive management, private equity, real estate, clean energy, and international finance. These leaders have held senior roles across high-growth ventures and established firms alike, enabling UCEA to make informed, strategic decisions that support long-term value creation across multiple sectors and regions.
