#Abraaj Used Colors and Noise to Prioritize Payments to Investors - Bloomberg

Abraaj Used Colors and Noise to Prioritize Payments to Investors - Bloomberg:

It paid to make noise as an investor in the now defunct Abraaj Group.

As the buyout firm’s financial woes grew, senior management drew up a color chart to pay limited partners according to how much “noise” they made, a report by Dubai’s financial regulator showed.

Abraaj, which once managed about $14 billion, was forced into liquidation last year after being accused of mismanaging investor funds. The firm’s backers included the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Bank’s International Finance Corp.
