据知情人士透露，一位堡垒投资集团（Fortress Investment Group）的资深人士正在被考虑担任阿布扎比新成立的一家买断型基金的首席职位，该基金希望最终能够募集外部资本。
A Fortress Investment Group veteran is being considered for the top role at Abu Dhabi’s new buyout-style fund that hopes to eventually raise outside capital, according to people familiar with the matter.
这些知情人士称，前管理合伙人迪恩·达科利亚斯（Dean Dakolias）正被物色为财富基金L’imad Holding投资部门的首席执行官。他曾协助构建这家美国公司的信贷业务。由于讨论的是机密信息，他们拒绝透露身份。
Dean Dakolias, a former managing partner who helped build the US firm’s credit business, is being lined up to become chief executive officer of wealth fund L’imad Holding’s investment unit, the people said, declining to be identified discussing confidential information.
该任命仍需经过批准，目前尚未做出最终决定。达科利亚斯和L’imad的代表尚未回应置评请求。堡垒投资集团也拒绝发表评论。
The appointment remains subject to approvals and no final decisions have been made. Dakolias and representatives for L’imad didn’t respond to a request for comment. Fortress declined to comment.
根据达科利亚斯的领英个人资料，他在堡垒投资集团工作了近25年，并于去年年底离职。2023年，财富基金穆巴达拉投资公司（Mubadala Investment Co.）通过其旗下的一家实体收购了该公司的股份后，他仍留在堡垒投资集团担任管理合伙人。
Dakolias spent nearly 25 years at Fortress before leaving at the end of last year, according to his LinkedIn profile. He remained a managing partner at Fortress after wealth fund Mubadala Investment Co. acquired a stake in the firm through a unit in 2023.
这段经历以及他在阿布扎比乃至更广泛地区的广泛人脉，可能有助于L’imad在构建平台以最终吸引第三方资本的过程中增强实力。
That experience, and his wide network within Abu Dhabi and beyond, could bolster L’imad as it builds a platform to eventually attract third-party capital.
这家规模达3000亿美元的财富基金已在阿布扎比金融中心阿布扎比全球市场（ADGM）设立了名为L’imad First Capital Ltd.的实体。据彭博新闻9月报道，该部门正在被打造为一个全球性投资工具，将支持私募股权和其他基金，并进行直接投资。
The $300 billion wealth fund hased entities under the name L’imad First Capital Ltd. in Abu Dhabi’s financial centre, ADGM. The unit is being shaped into a global investment vehicle that will back private equity and other funds as well as make direct investments, Bloomberg News reported in September.
当时，知情人士称，计划是先通过直接投资、联合投资和建立合作关系来积累业绩记录，然后再寻求第三方资本。首轮募资最早可能于明年启动。
The plan is to first build a track record through direct investments, co-investments and partnerships before seeking third-party capital, the people familiar with the matter said at the time. The first fundraise could come as early as next year.
引入外部资金将标志着阿布扎比市场的进一步演变：从以往主要以部署主权资本而闻名的市场，逐渐转向吸引更多机构投资者加入其投资平台。
Bringing in outside money would mark another step in Abu Dhabi’s evolution from a market best known for deploying sovereign capital to one increasingly seeking to attract institutional investors to its investment platforms.
7月，MGX从地区财富基金、全球养老基金和其他机构投资者那里筹集了近500亿美元，用于人工智能投资，而穆巴达拉资本则首次在其本土市场设立了一个旨在筹集第三方资本的项目。
In July, MGX raised nearly $50 billion from regional wealth funds, global pension funds and other institutional investors for investments in artificial intelligence, while Mubadala Capital, has established a venture to raise third-party capital in its home market for the first time.
L’imad由阿布扎比王储谢赫·哈利德·本·穆罕默德·阿勒纳哈扬主席领导，也在酋长国的战略优先事项中发挥核心作用，包括主导一项价值数十亿美元的推动计划，旨在建设基础设施以克服伊朗对霍尔木兹海峡的控制。
L’imad, chaired by Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed Al Nahyan, is also taking a central role in the emirate’s strategic priorities, including spearheading a multibillion-dollar push to build infrastructure intended to overcome Iran’s stranglehold over the Strait of Hormuz.
该财富基金正在进行改革和重组，以实现其雄心勃勃的目标。据熟悉情况的人士透露，所提出的新结构将把L’imad置于顶层，类似于一家持股公司，在阿布扎比多家主要企业中持有股权，而L’imad Capital则将更像一家收购公司运作。
The wealth fund is being revamped and reorganized to meet its ambitious goals. The proposed new structure would put L’imad at the top, akin to a holding company with ownership stakes in a number of major Abu Dhabi businesses, while L’imad Capital would operate more like a buyout firm, a person familiar with the matter said earlier.
据该人士透露，该投资单元随后可以追求支持其投资组合公司的交易，或主要旨在为持股公司创造回报的交易。
The investment unit could then pursue deals that support portfolio companies or transactions primarily aimed at generating returns for the holding company, according to that person.
