BAHRAIN — Investcorp has announced yesterday the completion of the registration of its Gulf Opportunity Fund I with the Central Bank of Bahrain. Gulf Opportunity Fund I is the private equity fund of Investcorp's Gulf Growth Capital line of business.
Gulf Growth Capital co-head, Christophe de Mahieu, explained that domiciling the Fund in Bahrain offered Investcorp unique advantages for investing in private equity deals in the region in comparison to funds registered outside the region, such as in the Cayman Islands.
He added that this registration in Bahrain would allow Investcorp to structure, more easily and rapidly, joint ventures in the Gulf region.
