Abu Dhabi’s Gulf Capital sees to close 4 PE deals in Q1 2012

He added that the company aimed to close the deals during the first quarter of 2012, but declined to provide any further details.
Gulf Capital, which currently has around $1 billion of assets under management, is planning to exit two investments in 2012, including its stake in Gulf Marine Services (GMS) — a regional jack-up and support barge company — el Solh said in September.
El Solh had told reporters in June that Gulf Capital’s Private Equity Partners Fund II will be 50 per cent invested by end-2011.
The fund closed last year with $533 million in commitments. (By Mirna Sleiman; Writing by David French; Editing by Rachna Uppal)
