Investcorp, a global alternative investment firm headquartered in Manama, Bahrain, says it has been chosen by a large Asian institution to invest over US$100 million in Southeast Asia.

This adds to the US$2.2 billion the company has raised from Asian institutional investors in the last 18 months as it continues to build its global distribution system and deliver fundraising capabilities to investors across key markets in the region.

Investcorp’s key mandates over the last 18 months include:

• A partnership with two leading sovereign wealth funds in the formation of a US$526 million venture focused on acquiring industrial real estate assets in the United States;
• A cornerstone investment from China Investment Corporation in the Investcorp Golden Horizon platform, which invests in high-growth companies across Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Corporation Council, and China;
• Over US$1.3 billion raised in collateralized loan obligations ( CLOs ) for its US and European CLOs; and
• Capital raised from a mix of global and India domestic institutional investors for its India Growth Equity Fund.

“Asia continues to be one of the most exciting and interesting regions for Investcorp,” says executive chairman Mohammed Alardhi in a statement. “We established our first base in Asia in 2017, when we opened our Singapore office. From there, we have pushed into new markets which have proven of great strategic importance as we seek to further serve our investors in the region. 2024 marked our fifth year in India and we recently bolstered our senior management there with new hires. I look forward to our continued efforts in 2025 in bringing strategies to clients in these key markets and identifying opportunities to deliver value.”
