It is great pleasure that I invite you to the Private Markets Middle East Web Meeting. Private investors in the region are uniquely placed to play a key role in the forthcoming economic transformation. The Middle East is home to some of the world’s largest investors, with the 10 largest institutions in the region managing a combined $3.71tn. In 2020, 200 cross-border deals were announced between Middle East-based investors and USA-based companies for a total $85 Billion deployed. This data excludes the acquisition of SABIA by Saudi Aramco for approximately $69 billion. The appetite for investment in North America and Europe should continue to accelerate, led by groups like Investcorp which plan to double their AUM in the coming years. The continued sophistication and need for diversification of Middle East based investors have led to the expansion of investment appetite across, Buyout, Secondaries, Venture/Growth and Real Assets. The purpose of this online conference is to connect and educate Middle East based institutional and family office investors with fund, direct and co-investment opportunities in the West. We hope you enjoy learning from and virtually networking with over 300 LPs and GPs involved in this niche, cross border opportunity.
