I gather he also has a CFO who's fronting another company or two for him, but similarly neither of those companies appears to have much cash. It doesn't look like the fella has anywhere near enough cash of his own to invest in a football club. But he does manage a 500m investment fund on behalf of his clients. So I can only imagine that some of his investors are the real money targets - unless of course Mel has simply sold them the stadium (since one of the companies has taken a charge out on PPS). Doesn't obviously look like anything to get too excited about IMHO. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamUltraRam Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 From one of their websites - "Gabay has decades of experience in alternative investments, hedge funds, wealth management, and private equity" I guess we could be just another one of their 'alternative investments' where a modest investment may one day bring a healthy financial return ??

The media also reported that they would be buying a majority stake in the club with Mel staying on as Chairman. Gabay isn't in this on his own - he has nowhere near enough money to even buy a majority stake in the club - never mind absorb our losses for months on end.

AdamRam Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Not sure why people are getting hung up on companies house. It depends on where the investment is coming from, however Duet group last year fronted a billion pound takeover of the Merit group. They have AUM of around 1.7 billion and other investments are Dashen Brewery and AJE Nigeria where the group have invested heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed the company (Duet Group Holdings Limited) who own much of the share capital in Rams Investment Limited and Rams Sports Management Ltd are Hong Kong based.
