Yusef Al Yusef, Global Head of Distribution at Investcorp

Yusef Al Yusef, Global Head of Distribution at Investcorp, revealed that the company is in discussions with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) to explore potential investment opportunities in the Kingdom’s airports, affirming that Investcorp is open to all projects in the transportation and aviation sectors.
 

In an interview with Asharq Bloomberg TV today, Al Yusef stated that Investcorp is set to announce a deal to develop a major regional airport in the US, noting that the firm’s infrastructure investments are primarily focused in OECD countries.
 

He added that Investcorp will announce during the conference the launch of a new platform aimed at expanding its global infrastructure investments, particularly in transportation sectors such as airports, roads, and ports — continuing its strategic expansion in the GCC region.
 

According to the official, Investcorp’s infrastructure investments currently represent about 9% of its total assets under management, with plans to increase that share to around 20% in the coming years.
 

He emphasized that Investcorp is focusing on sectors aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, including healthcare and logistics, and is actively working to attract foreign capital to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries in collaboration with relevant local institutions.
