Aliph Capital, a GCC-focused private equity fund manager that recently raised $125 million from Abu Dhabi holding company ADQ, expects to make its maiden investment deal before the end of this year.

It plans to make two to three investments a year after “deep diligence”. Overall, Aliph Capital will make 10 to 12 deals over the course of its $250m debut fund's life, Aliph Fund I (LP), Ms Al Lawati said.
