Fadi Chamat is the founder of Bibali Investments, a real estate development and brokerage firm specializing in luxury villa construction and property management in Bali. With a passion for investments and real estate, Fadi has built a reputation as an entrepreneur with a strong financial acumen. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Management from the Lebanese American University (LAU), an Executive MBA from London Business School (LBS), and is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA).
Before venturing into real estate, Fadi spent 18 years in the media industry with Omnicom Media Group in Dubai. However, driven by a desire to pursue his passion for finance and investment, he made the
bold decision to leave the corporate world and start anew. After taking a sabbatical year to prepare for his CFA exams, he established an independent financial advisory firm to serve clients who sought
personalized financial advice but were often overlooked by larger investment firms due to their smaller net worth. As he built his client base, Fadi continued his education, ultimately earning his CFA charter after three years of rigorous study.
Two years ago, Fadi launched his first investment fund, Balivest Holding Ltd., which was designed to tap into Bali’s growing short-term rental market. His pitch to clients involved raising funds for investing in luxury villas for short-term rentals. The success of this venture led to the creation of a second fund, Tropix Holding Ltd., which expanded his portfolio.
Today, Fadi’s company operates 11 luxury villas in Bali, available on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com, and he continues to offer financial advisory services for those looking to invest in Bali's
dynamic real estate market. Through Bibali Investments, Fadi also serves as an aggregator for real estate agents in Bali, listing their
properties on the company’s Instagram account (@bibali_investments) and facilitating the process of
property ownership and management. With a strong focus on luxury villas and short-term rentals, Bibali Investments has become a key player in the Bali real estate market.
