Investcorp says explores more Oman investment opportunities

Investcorp, a leading global provider and manager of alternative investment products, yesterday pledged its continued support to Oman as it held its board meeting in Oman for the second time in the last two years. Mohammed Alardhi, Executive Chairman of Investcorp, said: “We are committed to supporting Oman’s continued growth and we are constantly exploring investment opportunities in the Sultanate, particularly for our private equity and infrastructure businesses.” The meeting also represented Investcorp’s first Board meeting in the calendar year 2020 and follows the appointment of six new independent directors to the Board in September 2019. The board discussed the firm’s progress executing on its growth and diversification strategy, including its expansion in Asia.

It also addressed opportunities and challenges across global markets as well as the promising long-term potential of Oman’s 2040 Vision. Alardhi said, “We are confident that Oman will continue to thrive over the long-term with His Majesty’s Haitham bin Tariq Al Said’s leadership and as the Sultanate advances its 2040 Vision.” Ahead of the meeting, Investcorp hosted a dinner for Board and a group of distinguished Omani business leaders. During the dinner, Alardhi reinforced Investcorp’s ongoing commitment to support the next generation of Omani business leaders.
