  "account": "Abu Dhabi's sovereign investment arm, L’imad Capital, is set to seek external funding for its private equity strategy, according to reports. The unit, which is a part of the $300bn L’imad wealth fund, aims to create a global investment platform that can engage in direct transactions, co-investments, and partnerships. Bloomberg sources cite unnamed individuals familiar with the plans, stating that a potential fundraise may occur as early as next year. However, the decision is still under consideration. L’imad Capital is in the process of recruiting a chief executive, with senior appointments expected in the coming months. The unit is being developed within a larger restructuring of its parent company, L’imad, which is chaired by Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed Al Nahyan. The restructuring aims to transform L’imad into more of a holding company, with L’imad Capital operating under a buyout-style mandate to pursue investments for both portfolio companies and to generate returns for the wider group.",
