Where it is established
The United Arab Emirates, at the centre of the trade and capital corridors the company works across, with the professional, banking and logistics infrastructure that cross-border transactions require.
How it relates to the structure
Orivo is one of four operating companies reporting into a shared governance and stewardship framework provided by three US entities. The full structure is set out on the corporate structure page.
What the company is, and is not
The distinction below is the spine of the business. It is stated the same way in every document the company issues.
The company does
- Act as a self-directed principal investor, deploying proprietary capital and assets for its own account
- Conduct internal investment evaluation on its own proprietary interests
- Engage appropriately authorised third-party institutions and advisers where regulated banking, brokerage, custody, legal or other professional services are required
- Undertake any activity that becomes regulated in a relevant jurisdiction only through the appropriate authorised entity or professional provider
The company does not
- Solicit or accept funds from retail or outside investors for collective investment
- Pool third-party investor capital or operate a public investment fund
- Manage discretionary client portfolios or take custody of client investment funds
- Offer its institutional relationships as a service available to third parties
- Present itself as a third-party fund manager, adviser or arranger
Independent by construction, not by preference.
No external investor determines what we review, when we commit, or how long we hold.
How the company operates
Independence
Decisions driven by the company's own objectives and resources, never a fundraising cycle or an external investor mandate.
Agility
A small decision surface: assess independently, move selectively, and retain control over timing, structure and execution.
Discipline
Ownership, documentation, counterparty credibility, commercial logic and a route to completion, established before commitment.
Confidentiality
Sensitive holdings, relationships and transaction information are managed on a controlled, need-to-know basis.
Long-term view
Value creation over transaction volume; holding periods follow the asset rather than a calendar.
Professional execution
Regulated services are engaged from appropriately authorised institutions and advisers, transaction by transaction.
Executive leadership
Zaya Dad
Chief Executive Officer, Orivo LLC
Zaya provides executive leadership across Orivo's international activities, with responsibility for strategic direction, proprietary investment relationships, key counterparty relationships and the coordination of cross-border initiatives.
Within the wider structure he holds the equivalent role at GFF Canada Ltd and Off-Plan Crypto.
Leadership information is presented at a high level for corporate purposes. Detailed professional credentials and transaction-specific responsibilities are provided to counterparties where appropriate.
Collective strength across the structure
The wider structure is led by a team combining principal-investment leadership, investment-banking experience, legal and strategic advisory capability, and cross-border relationship development.
Leadership of the United States entities sits with Larry Franklin, Chief Executive Officer of LF Trading Group LLC and of the Velaryn entities, who brings more than twenty years of investment-banking experience.
Legal and strategic advisory support on international transactions, documentation and cross-border commercial matters is provided through the structure's advisers and external counsel.
Individual advisers are not named on this website. Where a counterparty needs to know who will handle a matter, that is confirmed directly at the point of engagement.
