Investcorp has five lines of business: private equity, hedge funds, real estate, technology investment and Gulf growth capital. The ability to provide multiple product offerings to its clients is one of its key competitive strengths. Founded in 1982, has arranged investments with a combined value of approximately $43 billion. The company has grown to become one of the largest and most diverse alternative investment managers in terms of both product offerings and geography, and currently has approximately $12 billion in invested assets under management. The firm co-invests significantly with its clients across its lines of business to ensure a strong alignment of interests. Investcorp’s three offices act in tandem, with the New York and London offices identifying investment opportunities, and the Bahrain office placing investment among a pool of Arab clients. Investcorp's placement capability is focused in the six nations of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf. To date Investcorp has been seen as politically neutral, however, their portfolio company, Moneybookers, ended its relationship with Wikileaks in August 2010 as a direct result of U.S. government pressure. |
