Why Direct Deals Matter

In standard US private equity funds, the sponsor takes 20% to 30% of the profits after you receive a baseline preferred return (usually 7-8%). While this aligns incentives, it severely limits your upside on a home-run deal. By sourcing direct, off-market deals through USA Qatar Capital, we structure joint ventures that significantly reduce or eliminate these institutional promotes, passing the alpha directly back to the GCC investor.
