In the past decade, Arcapita, the Bahrain-headquartered investment group, has become wellknown on the international stage for using buy-out skills and a funding base to conduct deals in the US, Asia and Europe.
These days the fund is starting to acquire a new buy-out focus – closer to home. A few months ago, its private equity unit started exploring buy-out opportunities in the Gulf and neighbouring regions. While it has yet to close any deals, it is actively evaluating some opportunities now – and expects to invest soon.
