What New World Group does

New World Group (NWG) is a London-headquartered principal investment and holding group founded in 2016 that structures and deploys institutional capital across real assets, financial infrastructure, and operating businesses in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The firm operates a platform-plus-subsidiary architecture organized around three interconnected entities: New World Capital Advisors (NWCA), which originates special situations and cross-border transactions; New World Investments (NWI), which acquires and scales controlling stakes in strategic platforms across financial services, technology, and real assets; and New World Asset Management (NWAM), which designs multi-asset investment structures backed by sovereign wealth, institutional, and family office capital. NWG owns and scales a portfolio of operating companies including Valesco (European real estate private equity), Algbra (institutional-grade fintech), and Luxury Promise (global commerce platform with authentication and live selling).

The firm generates revenue through management fees, advisory fees, and performance-related compensation negotiated privately with capital partners. Its go-to-market is exclusively institutional, relying on direct engagement with sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, insurance companies, and family offices through shareholder networks and proprietary origination channels rather than public distribution. NWG operates from three offices—London (headquarters), Dubai (Middle East), and Kuala Lumpur (Asia)—and reports $3bn+ in capital advised, structured, and invested across 15+ portfolio companies with operational presence in 20+ countries. Revenue figures and ownership percentages are not publicly disclosed.

NWG is led by Founder & CEO Adam Sadiq with operational leadership distributed across regions (Lena Tan as Chair of Asia & Managing Director; Alex Tsirigotis as COO) and recent senior governance reinforcement through the appointment of Arno Kitts as Non-Executive Chairman in May 2026, bringing senior institutional pedigree from BlackRock, Henderson Global Investors, JP Morgan, and Pension Insurance Corporation.

Broad incumbents

• Lazard: Global financial advisory and asset management firm — overlapping with NWG's NWCA special situations and cross-border strategic advisory function as a broader incumbent in the same merchant-banking category.
• Brookfield Asset Management: Global alternative asset manager with dominant real assets, infrastructure, and private equity franchises serving sovereign and institutional capital — a much larger incumbent operating in the same thematic space as NWG.
• Ares Management: Large US-led alternative asset manager operating credit, real estate, and private equity platforms for institutional investors — a broad incumbent providing a useful comparator for NWG's multi-asset, institutional-LP strategy.

Direct peers

• Apax Partners: Global private equity firm with sector focus on financial services, tech, and consumer — directly comparable to NWG's three-platform, sector-thesis investment architecture and institutional LP model.
• Permira: Global private equity firm with European roots, multi-strategy funds, and a portfolio spanning financial services, technology, and consumer — overlapping materially with NWG's Valesco/Algbra/Luxury Promise thematic mix.
• 3i Group: London-listed global private equity and venture capital manager; the most direct UK peer to NWG given shared institutional LP base, European origination focus, and multi-strategy platform model spanning PE and infrastructure.
• Centricus: London-based global principal investment and advisory firm operating across asset management, financial services, and technology — closely mirroring NWG's merchant-bank structure and cross-border capital intermediation model.
• Intermediate Capital Group (ICG): London-based alternative asset manager operating multi-strategy private capital (credit, equity, real assets) platforms for institutional investors — directly comparable to NWG's NWCA+NWI+NWAM structure and institutional LP base.
• Patron Capital Partners: European-focused real estate private equity firm backed by sovereign and institutional capital — the closest direct comparable to NWG's Valesco real estate platform within the Group's portfolio.
• Bridgepoint Group: European-headquartered private equity firm with global mid-market focus and multi-strategy funds; comparable to NWG in scale, European institutional LP relationships, and cross-border deal origination model.
