Building upon an invaluable heritage of service

Yafi Capital was founded by Aref El-Yafi (front right) who had promised his father, the late Prime Minister Abdallah El-Yafi (back right), to serve the world through integrous non-political means.

Abdallah El-Yafi was an unprecedented champion of human rights in Lebanese politics, having served as Prime Minister 12 times. He was adamant on instilling a culture of righteous service in his children through “education, honest work, and a good personality.” Aref did just that. A self-made man, Aref proved to be a great commercial and humanitarian talent, and after years of hard work, he established Yafi Capital, now one of the nation’s leading family offices at the forefront of the fight for clean development, sustainability, and technological advancement for all.
