The fund, the second PE fund launched by Invest AD for the MENA region, aims to achieve a net internal rate of return of at least 25 percent, Invest AD's head of private equity Samir Assaad told the Reuters Private Equity and Hedge Funds Summit.
Invest AD, which has seed capital of $75 million from the Abu Dhabi government for its second MENA fund, hopes to achieve a first closing of at least $200 million for the fund by June.
