Ithmar Capital
By: Josh Lerner and Ann Leamon
Abstract
The founders of Ithmar Capital, a mid-market private equity fund targeting businesses in and addressing the Gulf Co-operation Council countries, are about to raise their third fund, targeting $1 billion. The firm's current strategy as demonstrated in Funds I ($70 million) and II ($250 million) emphasized careful targeting of sectors and in-depth work to develop the portfolio companies post-acquisition. With the industry's greater velocity and deal size, can Ithmar continue to pursue this strategy even with a larger fund?
