The history section has recently introduced new content that is questionable in its point of view. In particular the discusssion of the firm's founding and the relationship with Dr. Jawad Hashim who has written "INVESTCORP - The True Story Behind Its Creation" (see http://www.jmhinternational.com/investcorp/index.html) Without personally being an expert on this subject, I would propose a mention of the controversy raised in the book but would not include significnat detail from Hashim's text. I have already removed significant portions of the added text. |► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 23:30, 23 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I am a representative of Investcorp and agree with you that this content (the History and References) sections are questionable in their point of view. We propose to remove all of the text relating to these two sections as some of it is potentially libellous. If you agree, please can you 'resolve the dispute' which will allow us to remove the rest of it. Thanks. Katiecola1 (talk) 15:46, 23 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I do not think any part of the history and links should be removed. The content provided by Jawad Hashim cannot be liable. These are undeniable facts which none of Investcorp's representatives nor employees might never have been even aware of. The documents and pictures provided by Jawad Hashim do seem to speak for themselves. Also, as Hashim points out, Namir Kirdar's testimony (in his OWN HANDWRITING) is also registered in the British/English courts (Discovery Documents # AD5210 - AD5227), easily accessible by the public. It is very obvious that anyone from Investcorp would want to remove the History and References from this article for reasons to protect the corporation and Nemir Kirdar from certain information which they do not want the public to know about. I say please leave it all in there.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Hashmoder (talk • contribs) 23:44, 23 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:45, 20 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

I've just removed an extensive, unsourced, detailed and slightly rambling "History" section for the reasons that the material was 1) intermittently promotional; 2) largely unsourced; 3) anecdotal; and 4) detailed at a level far out of proportion to the subject. My broad view on it is that when a third party think that the history of Investcorp is sufficiently noteworthy that they create one, that can be paraphrased and included here. Meantime it reads more like marketing fluff than an encyclopedia entry and should stay out. Comments welcome. JohnInDC (talk) 14:39, 5 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

This is user Hashmoder. I disagree that Investcorp's history reads as "marketing fluff." It is not marketing fluff but actual facts which Investcorp subjectively wants to remove. I have provided images and links to PDF documents which include: (a) scans of Nemir Kirdar's handwritten statement in Arabic plus typed translation in regards to the company's creation; (b) Application for Incorporation & Founder Shareholders’ Meeting; and (c) The Incorporation & First Meeting of the Board of Directors. I firmly believe that it is imperative to include the history facts in Investcorp's wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.68.106.243 (talk) 18:08, 28 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

The material is rambling, self-sourced, self-serving and - among other things - impermissible ORIGINAL RESEARCH and SYNTHESIS. Wikipedia is not the place to settle personal scores or to "set the record straight". The very first step in including this material would be references to reliable, third party sources that describe this history - not the founder's own version and recitation of events. Please don't add it back without at least that. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 22:31, 28 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

This is not my personal dispute. I am the third party with direct references. And I actually own the all original photos and corporate documents which I scanned myself. Nemir Kirdar himself admits, in his scanned handwritten statement and in his book (NEED RESPECT TRUST), that the creation of Investcorp involved Dr. Jawad Hashim, David Rockefeller, and Arab Monetary Fund. I have taken photos of the pages from Nemir's book for your review. You will see the names there. Therefore, it is imperative for you to understand the real/true history of Investcorp's creation (with its photos of Hashim/Rockefeller/BoardDirectors and links to PDF files such as the scanned docs of company's incorporation) is what Investcorp wants subjectively to suppress. Please review the photos I have attached/inserted here and let me know.

File:Nemir Book 01 Cover.jpg

Why is it imperative to understand anything at all about the company's formation? The article doesn't say anything about it now, and what is necessary other than the simple (and apparently sourced) statement, "the company was originally developed under the auspices of the Arab Monetary Fund and its President, Dr. Jawad Hashim"? There's no reason for three or four paragraphs of aggrieved subjective first person prose about this simple fact (if indeed it is a simple fact). JohnInDC (talk) 00:28, 29 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

I am re-writing (in the third-person) a short, concise and unbiased history of Investcorp's creation in an objective chronologic order. There will be references to: the involvements of Dr. Jawad Hashim, Arab Monitary Fund, David Rockefeller, Willard Butcher, and Nemir Kirdar; the law firm which incorporated Investcorp; the first founder & shareholder meeting; the first board of directors; Nemir Kirdar's book; Nemir Kirdar's scanned handwritten statement from the 1980s; and few other links to the scanned appendices. I would like the three pictures posted as well with different captions; those pictures do not lie. I will avoid any first-person statements of Dr. Jawad Hashim. I will also avoid making any subjective opinions of who was the "brainchild" of Investcorp. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hashmoder (talk • contribs) 00:54, 29 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

You haven't explained why this requires any more than the simple sentence I described above. There's no need to talk about law firms, shareholder meetings, boards of directors or any of that. "The company was founded in [date] under the direction of Hashim. It's in business now as follows:" The pictures are just clutter, and superfluous. Again Wikipedia is not a platform for "making the truth known" or "telling the full story" or settling old scores or any of that. It's for the straightforward recitation of reliably-sourced third party facts, with proper weight given to the matters touched upon in an article. Perhaps it would help if you would explain the dispute here, why (evidently) you want to tell this side of the story in all of its plodding detail, and why others (evidently) would seek to have it omitted. JohnInDC (talk) 01:16, 29 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

I'd add that, given the contentious - and again, aggrieved - tone of the prior versions of this addition, I am inclined to regard the addition of any material beyond the very simple, very basic recitation I've described above, to have a POV basis. This article describes Investcorp and its business, and is not here to add weight to claims being laid by one or another party about who deserves proper credit for it - indeed in that regard I'd remind you that until your addition, the article said nothing about the company's founding; so it's not as if your proposal is necessary to counter some mistaken impression within the article. To the contrary if this issue is disputed or somehow the subject of disagreement, your addition would seem to fan the flames rather than calm matters. JohnInDC (talk) 01:22, 29 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

To say it another way - this isn't the place to prove anything to anyone, or to burden the article with a substantial (and disproportionate) load of "evidence" designed to settle some question once and for all. So - a simple statement is all that's necessary, or appropriate. JohnInDC (talk) 01:35, 29 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

I cleaned up the page by removing lots of outdated info and expanded it with more recent info where possible. Mostly, I tried to give the page some sort of order. Open for any suggestions on how this can be improved. Cheers Mr Mike Wang (talk) 18:30, 4 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I am an official representative of Investcorp and we would like to update the entry and enrich it with valuable information. We respect the rules of the Wikipedia community and have signed the official agency/Wikipedia agreement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Statement_on_Wikipedia_from_participating_communications_firms. We adhere strictly to the guidelines and therefore leave it up to the members of the Wikipedia community to make or reject changes for us. Could someone for whom there is no conflict of interest please review the following content we have proposed? See the proposed changes below in the text.

Preamble: Updating sources, including Mubadala Investment Company ownership, and moving outdated paragraph on Investcorp being a wholesale bank (it ceased being one in 2019) to the HIstory section

Investcorp is a global manager of alternative investment products, for private [News of Bahrain] and institutional [Wall St Journal] clients. Founded in Bahrain in 1982, the firm has offices in United States, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, India, China, Japan and Singapore. Investcorp’s principal client base is in the six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council [Forbes], but it also has a growing base of institutional clients in North America, Europe, and Asia.

The group’s biggest external shareholder is Mubadala Investment Company, a $229 billion Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, which has a stake of 20 percent [Bloomberg]. The company’s main activities include private equity, real estate, and credit management [Investcorp], and has $50 billion [Financial Times] worth of assets under management, as of April 2023.  

Investcorp has 7 asset classes [Zawya] which include private equity, real estate, credit, absolute return strategies, GP stakes, infrastructure, and insurance asset management.

History: Added an updated paragraph on Investcorp's history as a wholesale bank (moved from preamble)

The company was co-founded in 1982 by Nemir Kirdar, Elias Hallak, Mike Merritt, and Cem Cesmig and acquired Tiffany & Co in 1984, floating in 1987 [Investcorp]. In 1988, Maurizio Gucci sold almost 47.8% of Gucci [New York Times] to Investcorp and withheld the other 50% until 1993 [New York Times].

The company diversified in 1997 into hedge funds [Private Equity International]. Kirdar stepped down as CEO and executive chairman in 2015 [Investcorp]. With this, Mohammed Alardhi became the Executive Chairman of the company [Financial Times]. The changes also involved an update to the business model, which is now focused on raising funds, raising institutional capital, and diversifying strategies further [Financial Times].

Investcorp made several acquisitions between 2016 and 2019, pushing into China with investments in tech and the food sector [Institutional Investor] [Journal of Commerce]. In 2019, the company also pushed further into the US market with the acquisition of Mercury Capital [New York Times]. Investcorp's portfolio company, Moneybookers, ended its relationship with WikiLeaks in August 2010 as a result of U.S. government pressure [The Economist].

The company was regulated in Bahrain as a wholesale bank until 2019, when it voluntarily surrendered its wholesale banking license [S&P Global]. It remained listed on the Bahrain Bourse (BSE) for four decades until 2021, when it delisted itself as a result of low trading volumes [Bloomberg].

Investment areas: Corporate investment renamed to Private equity

Private equity: Broken sources in list updated, list extended to include newer investments

Real estate investment: Number of properties acquired updated, and Investcorp being a top-10 largest cross-border buyer and seller of US real estate

The real estate division [Private Equity Real Estate], based in New York and London, sources and performs due diligence, and arranges financing and the acquisition of US and European properties and US commercial mortgage debt positions. The investment in these properties or loans is typically aggregated into a series of multi-investment portfolios for placement to clients.

Since 1996, Investcorp has acquired over 1,000 properties for a total value of approximately $23 billion [The National News]. Investcorp is among the top-10 largest cross-border buyers and sellers of US real estate [Gulf Business].

Hedge funds: Removed outdated and unnecessarily detailed information

Established in 1996, Investcorp's hedge fund business grew to an approximate value of $3.5 billion capital under management [HedgeWeek], out of which approximately $0.2 billion is reserved for proprietary investments [Annual Report]. The hedge fund business provides institutional investors with access to its emerging manager program, investing with and seeding early-stage managers who, according to Investcorp research, outperform larger hedge funds on a risk-adjusted basis [Reuters]. In 2020, Investcorp merged its hedge fund business with Tages Group, a European alternative asset management firm, creating a 50/50 joint venture [Institutional Investor].

Credit management: Updated AUM figure and added missing source

Investcorp Credit Management has assets under management of over $22 billion [Pensions & Investments]. Based in London, New York, and Singapore, they manage funds that invest primarily in senior secured corporate debt issued by mid and large-cap corporates in Western Europe and the US.

Investcorp Insurance: Added section on Investcorp Insurance

In October 2021, the company launched its Investcorp Insurance Solutions platform which provides investment management services to meet the unique investment needs of insurers [Institutional Asset Manager].

Hi all, I’m from Kekst CNC, a global communications agency that works with Investcorp to manage its communications.

We're engaging as a member of the Wikipedia community having signed the official agency/Wikipedia agreement set out here Wikipedia:Statement_on_Wikipedia_from_participating_communications_firms. This means we follow guidelines, most importantly understanding we have COI, meaning we let members of the Wikipedia community decide (or not decide) to make changes for us.

We would like to make some factual additions to this page to improve its content further. Please find these below, included within the context of existing information on the page. Let us know if you’re happy for these to be published on the main page. Investcorp announced in 2024 a change in organizational structure and leadership team.

We have since developed copy that will help expand the overview of the company that has been created, and ask for an editor to review, and if it’s deemed appropriate to edit the article using the information we’ve provided. Our suggested copy is below, new information with new information included with references.

Please can someone review?

Investcorp is a global manager of alternative investment products, for private and institutional clients. Founded in Bahrain in 1982, and operating under the leadership of Executive Chairman Mohammad Alardhi since 2015, the firm has offices in United States, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, India, China, Japan, Singapore ^[1]. Investcorp's principal client base is in the six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, but it also has a growing base of institutional clients in North America, Europe, and Asia.

The group's biggest external shareholder is Mubadala Investment Company, a $229 billion Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, which has a stake of 20 percent. The company's main activities include private equity, real estate, and credit management, and has $55 billion worth of assets under management, as of January 2025 ^[2].

History

The company was co-founded in 1982 by Nemir Kirdar, Elias Hallak, Savio Tung, Mike Merritt, and Cem Cesmig and acquired Tiffany & Co in 1984, floating in 1987. In 1988, Maurizio Gucci sold almost 47.8% of Gucci to Investcorp, and withheld the other 50% until 1993.

The company diversified in 1997 into hedge funds. Kirdar stepped down as CEO and executive chairman in 2015. With Kirdar resigning, Mohammad Alardhi became the Executive Chairman of the company. The changes also involved an update to the business model, which is now focused on raising institutional capital from global markets, and diversifying strategies further. In 2024, Investcorp announced further changes to its leadership team, with Alardhi taking on further responsibilities previously held by the co-CEO as Executive Chairman, and Rishi Kapoor being appointed Vice Chairman and Chief Investment Officer ^[3]. This restructure of the leadership team also included reorganising investment activities under three business verticals; Private Equity, led by Daniel Lopez Cruz ^[4], Real Assets, led by Herb Myers and Mike O’Brien, and Credit, led by Neil Rickard in Europe and Corey Geis in the US^[5]. Investcorp’s Private Wealth business and distributions are led by Yusef Al Yusef^[6]. Investcorp has 7 asset classes which include private equity, real estate, credit, absolute return strategies, GP stakes, infrastructure, and insurance asset management.

Investcorp made several acquisitions between 2016 and 2019, pushing into China with investments into tech and the food sector. In 2019, the company also pushed into the US market with the acquisition of Mercury Capital, which ceased operations in late 2024 "due to the very challenging capital raising environment". Investcorp's portfolio company, Moneybookers, ended its relationship with WikiLeaks in August 2010.

The company was regulated in Bahrain as a wholesale bank until 2019, when it voluntarily surrendered its wholesale banking license. It remained listed on the Bahrain Bourse (BSE) for four decades until 2021, when it delisted itself as a result of low trading volumes.

In 2023, Investcorp acquired a 50% stake in the infrastructure business of the firm Corsair, creating a new joint entity, Investcorp Corsair^[7]. The new entity focuses on a scalable investment strategy in transportation, logistics and broader infrastructure^[8].

In 2024, the firm launched a $1 billion fund to invest further in China, and the GCC^[9]. The company has since announced further investment in the US as well, joining a $4.2 billion project to redevelop JFK international airport, due to be completed by 2025.^[10]

In the same year, it also announced it had partnered with specialist Securitize to make its latest GP-stakes fund available for individual investors on a public blockchain^[11]. Additionally, in early 2025 the firm launched it’s ‘Investcorp Wealth’ app, expanding its offerings towards individual investors^[12].

Hi Amelia! Are you still here? We had discussed this a bit on my Talk Page last year, and I have since learned a lot about Wikipedia editing, whereas at the time I didn't really feel equipped to provide feedback. From just a general standpoint, the requested copy definitely reads as promotional, someone linked it above but NPOV page will give some more context. Really it's just a tad too detailed. I have some free time tonight, so I'm going to work on getting some of this on the page as neutrally as possible, but just wanted to provide a bit of feedback :) Kprallax (talk) 22:21, 5 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
