Speaking at the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha, Nachmann said the firm expects to pursue additional opportunities with sovereign wealth funds, which he described as offering "attractive risk/return opportunities."

He also pointed to a strong pipeline of initial public offerings in the region, creating "more opportunities for international investors to make money from the region," according to the news outlet.

Goldman Sachs ( GS ) did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
