Alpha Dhabi plans $8 billion in investments after Modon exit

Alpha Dhabi Holding plans to invest $8 billion over the next five years, with recent divestments providing additional funding for growth.

The Abu Dhabi-based investment company, which is 45% owned by International Holding Co., the vast conglomerate run by UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, most recently generated $1.4 billion when it exited UAE-based real estate investor Modon in October.

Derek Nicholson, Alpha Dhabi’s Chief Strategy Officer, told Zawya that the company seeks acquisitions with “the right risk profile, returns, and synergies.”

Alpha Dhabi also sees potential to monetize its assets through IPOs, accelerated bookbuilds or strategic sales, he said.
