Your questions.

The first step is a conversation.

What does a Private Access & Asset Advisor do?

Yiğit Akalın helps individuals, brands and corporations access products, assets and relevant connections. The practice focuses on Istanbul and Dubai, with a personal approach to research and off-market access.

What does off-market mean?

Off-market refers to products and assets that are not listed through public sales channels. Research is conducted through direct connections in response to a specific brief.

How do you work with brands and corporations?

We start by understanding the objective and scope of the request. Relevant connections, collaboration opportunities and specific product or asset searches are then considered. The scope is agreed during the initial conversation.

What should I share for an initial enquiry?

Briefly describe the product, asset or collaboration you are looking for, together with your preferred location and timeline. There is no need to send sensitive documents or financial information in your first message.

One step closer
to your search.

A product, an asset or a new collaboration.
Let’s give your search a clear starting point.
