Investcorp Capital Successfully Exits $550 million of Multifamily Assets at a Premium
Investcorp Capital plc (the 'Company' or 'Investcorp Capital') (ADX symbol: 'ICAP'), an investor in private markets and alternative investment opportunities, is pleased to announce that it has exited 12 residential multiple-occupancy real estate assets ('multifamily assets') across five states in the United States – including the full liquidation of a multifamily portfolio – at an aggregate price of ~$550 million.
Despite a tempered multifamily market, the exit was secured at a premium, reflecting the strength of the underlying properties as well as Investcorp Group's ability to deftly navigate challenging investment environments.
Commenting on the exit, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Mohamed Aamer, said: 'Though rent growth has cooled from the highs we saw in recent years, the long-term fundamentals supporting the multifamily sector remain compelling. Our latest exits reflect the confidence in the sector, as well as Investcorp's ability to capitalize on attractive opportunities and leverage operational expertise to create value. The team will continue to evaluate properties across target markets, identifying opportunities that will deliver to shareholders.'
The assets are 94% occupied on average and are situated in desirable rental markets including Atlanta; Philadelphia; Raleigh, North Carolina; and St. Louis, Missouri, as well as Tampa and Orlando in Florida. Most recently, the Investcorp Group team completed the liquidation process with the sale of a 432-unit garden-style apartment community in Atlanta at the end of February 2025.
Investcorp Group is among the top-5 largest cross-border buyers of US real estate over the past five years, according to Real Capital Analytics. 98% of the firm's portfolio consist of industrial or residential properties.

MENA startups raised $289 million in May 2025, led by Egypt
The startup ecosystem in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) showed renewed momentum in May 2025, raising a total of $289 million across 44 deals. This marks a 25% increase from April and a slight 2% uptick year-on-year. Debt financing made up just 9% of the overall investment volume, with most capital directed toward equity deals. Egypt reclaimed its position as the region's top-funded ecosystem, largely driven by Nawy's impressive $75 million round. Beyond Nawy, seven other Egyptian startups collectively raised $50 million—activity levels not seen since July of last year. The UAE followed in second place with $86.7 million raised across 14 deals. Saudi Arabia came close behind, attracting $69 million through 15 deals. Notably, Kuwait re-emerged on the investment map, with two startups securing a combined $6 million, placing the often-overlooked GCC member in fourth position. AI buzz in the GCC fails to translate into funding Artificial intelligence drew significant attention in the Gulf last month, particularly following a visit by U.S. President Trump alongside leading AI executives from Silicon Valley. The trip prompted both Saudi Arabia and the UAE to unveil major initiatives aimed at boosting their local AI ecosystems. Despite the political fanfare and media buzz, actual investment in AI startups fell short of expectations. The sector secured just $25 million across two deals—highlighting a gap between narrative and market reality. Fintech leads; proptech and mediatech Follow Fintech once again proved its strength in the region, drawing $86.5 million through 14 funding rounds. Thanks to Nawy's raise, proptech climbed to second place in terms of sectoral funding. Meanwhile, mediatech startups raised a total of $32 million from two deals, and contech startup WakeCap brought in $28 million. Late-stage deals were notably absent from the month's activity. Only one pre-Series C round was recorded at $12 million, while early-stage investments dominated, accounting for $161 million of the total funding. B2B startups remain investor favorites Startups operating in the business-to-business (B2B) space continued to attract the lion's share of investor interest. In May, B2B startups raised $157 million across 29 deals. Companies with hybrid (B2B/B2C) models brought in $79 million, while B2C startups saw significantly less attention, with nine companies raising a total of $53 million. Gender Disparity Persists The gender gap in funding remained wide. Startups founded solely by men captured 82% of the total capital raised. In comparison, female-founded startups secured just 7%, while teams with both male and female co-founders attracted nearly 11%.
