Investcorp plans to deploy at least US$6 billion across private markets during the 2025/26 fiscal year, leveraging its Abu Dhabi presence and US industrial assets amidst global market opportunities and regional growth initiatives.
Yusef Al Yusef, Global Head of Distribution at Investcorp, said the group plans to deploy no less than US$6 billion across private equity, real estate including infrastructure, and debt instruments during its current fiscal year, which runs from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. According to the original report, Al Yusef made the comments to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) on the sidelines of Abu Dhabi Finance Week, calling the programme a “pivotal event” that has attracted global financial-sector leaders since its launch.
The $6 billion target forms part of what Investcorp describes as robust expansion plans driven by growing opportunities in international markets, particularly the United States. The company has been building its Abu Dhabi presence for more than a decade: Investcorp was one of the first institutions to establish a foothold at Abu Dhabi Global Market in 2014, and about two years ago it listed Investcorp Capital PLC on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, the original report noted.
Investcorp Capital PLC , the ADX-listed vehicle designed to give retail as well as institutional investors access to private markets exposure , has been active in the US industrial sector. In a company announcement, Investcorp Capital said it acquired a diversified portfolio of 35 industrial buildings totalling 2.6 million square feet across seven coastal US markets for approximately $400 million; the portfolio was reported to have a 97% occupancy rate and to benefit from tight supply and rising rents. The company framed the purchase as evidence of the strength and profitability potential of US industrial real estate.
Financial results published by Investcorp Capital underline the pace of activity. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, ending 30 September 2025, the company reported a net profit of $12 million and total income up 20% year‑on‑year to $24 million, with total assets rising to $1.93 billion. The company attributed the asset growth to selective new investments and value appreciation across a diversified private markets portfolio, and said capital deployment profit benefitted from stronger yields on global credit and asset gains.
Those near‑term results follow a stronger prior year: Investcorp Capital reported a net profit of $105 million for fiscal 2024 and approved $115 million in dividends, having paid $60 million, with the company saying that public shareholders had seen an annualised return of 13% since listing. Investcorp Capital was floated on ADX after an initial public offering that raised gross proceeds of about AED 1.66 billion (roughly USD 450 million), with the publisher of the IPO materials highlighting a targeted recurring cash yield and an intended dividend policy for investors.
Industry observers say the mix of private equity, real estate (including infrastructure) and private credit is a common strategy for firms seeking yield and growth in a higher‑rate environment, and that allocations to logistics and coastal industrial assets have been especially attractive because of constrained supply and steady demand. According to the announcement materials, Investcorp has expanded its asset classes to include infrastructure projects, citing, for example, involvement in the redevelopment of JFK International Airport’s Terminal 6 as an illustration of that strategy.
While the group projects aggressive deployment over the coming year, market risks remain. Interest‑rate moves, valuation volatility in private markets and geopolitical factors can affect returns and timing of exits. The company’s public statements frame the $6 billion target as achievable through a combination of Investcorp Group’s sourcing capabilities and the ADX‑listed vehicle’s ability to channel retail and institutional capital into diversified strategies.
Al Yusef also pointed to the role of Abu Dhabi Finance Week as a convening forum and said Investcorp’s ADGM presence and the ADX listing have strengthened its regional base and supported its growth ambitions in the UAE and beyond. The company said Investcorp Capital enables a broader investor base to access a diversified portfolio spanning private equity, real estate and infrastructure, and private credit instruments , a proposition it says differentiates the vehicle in the Middle Eastern market.
