- Achieve above average risk-adjusted returns on our investments in both established and developing private equity markets
- Help diversify Dubai Holding’s portfolio, offering a lasting contribution and acting as a catalyst for economic growth
- Provide our stakeholders with value growth and diversification, plus strategic investments and relationships
