Black Sheep

Execution Focused Institutional Advisory

Black Sheep Management is a Dubai based advisory firm working with fund managers, financial institutions, and family offices across MENA, India, and global markets. We help funds design better strategies, structure vehicles correctly, and build operations that scale with capital.

We do not chase volume. We work on complex mandates where clarity, execution, and institutional discipline matter. Our role is simple. We help decision makers see what actually happens behind the scenes of a fund and fix the gaps that usually get ignored until it is too late.
