Capital Haus Secures Strategic Stake in Equity Story Group 

Capital Haus, a UAE-based financial concierge firm renowned for its bespoke wealth management services for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and corporate investors, has acquired an 11.6% stake in Equity Story Group Ltd (ASX: EQS). This move significantly enhances Capital Haus's total assets under management (AUM), pushing it beyond $1 billion and solidifying its position as a premier provider of exclusive financial solutions in the UAE and beyond.

Following this investment, Brendan Gow, Founder and Managing Director of Capital Haus, has been appointed as an Executive Director on the Board of Equity Story Group. With over 17 years of experience in wealth management, international investment strategy, and corporate finance, Gow's appointment underscores the firm's commitment to strategic expansion. His leadership is expected to drive innovative investment opportunities for UAE-based clients seeking diversified, high-growth alternatives outside traditional markets.

As the UAE cements its status as a global financial hub, investor demand for alternative asset classes and cross-border investment solutions continues to rise. The collaboration between Capital Haus and Equity Story Group enables UAE investors to access exclusive private market opportunities, advanced equity research, and tailored financial strategies.

Brendan Gow commented: "This acquisition aligns with our mission to offer UAE investors personalised wealth management solutions that integrate global financial expertise with local market knowledge. Private wealth is evolving beyond conventional models, with investors seeking direct access to unique opportunities, strategic tax planning, and customised financial solutions that ensure asset growth and preservation. By partnering with Equity Story, we are broadening our global footprint while empowering our clients with new investment pathways."

The UAE remains a magnet for substantial capital inflows from HNWIs, family offices, and institutional investors, further fueling the demand for highly personalised financial concierge services. Capital Haus's latest investment reaffirms its dedication to bridging the gap between sophisticated investors and exclusive global financial opportunities.

Equity Story Group, an Australian-listed financial media and investment advisory company, specialises in market research, investor education, and wealth management solutions for a global audience. Its collaboration with Capital Haus strengthens both firms’ ability to provide top-tier investment insights and access to private equity opportunities tailored for elite investors in the UAE.

Capital Haus has secured 19,230,770 shares in Equity Story, which will be voluntarily held in escrow for 12 months. Additionally, the firm has obtained 12,820,513 options at an exercise price of $0.05, set to expire in December 2026. This transaction enhances Capital Haus’s leadership in the financial concierge space while offering its clients new avenues for wealth diversification and international market expansion.

With this strategic growth, Capital Haus continues to redefine private wealth services in the UAE, offering bespoke investment management, exclusive financial structures, and tailored portfolio strategies designed to meet the sophisticated needs of high-net-worth investors.
