The Asset   27 Oct 2026

The Private Department of Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalid Al Nahyan, together with its global asset management affiliate KSH Investments, has launched a fund to explore long-term opportunities in energy and infrastructure while strengthening regional investment platforms and institutional capital formation across the United Arab Emirates and selected regional markets.

The Pvt Dpt – LNG Fund ( CEIC ) IC targets an initial close of US$1.2 billion.

Reem Partners, incorporated and regulated within the Abu Dhabi Global Market ( ADGM ) ecosystem, acts as the fund manager and KSH Investments as strategic consultant. MidOcean Energy and its manager EIG are strategic partners focusing on collaborative capital formation and investment origination.

Ahmed Mansour, chief executive officer ( global investment and asset management ) of the Private Department, says: “Leveraging our investment strategy, we’re positioning ourselves for long-term exposure to top-notch global infrastructure and energy assets, opening doors for regional investors to join forces with leading institutional partners.

“MidOcean offers access to a vital part of the global energy landscape through a well-rounded LNG platform, and our strategic partnership with EIG lays the groundwork for future teamwork and investment opportunities throughout the region.”

Abu Dhabi-based Private Department, together with KSH Investments, is a diversified investment and asset management platform focused on identifying and developing long-term investment opportunities across a diversified range of sectors and geographies. Through direct investments, strategic partnerships and asset management activities, the company manages interests across real estate, hospitality, infrastructure, financial services, energy, and other sectors, with a focus on long-term value creation and prudent capital allocation.

MidOcean Energy, a pure-play liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) company formed and managed by EIG, seeks to build a diversified, resilient, cost- and carbon-competitive global LNG portfolio. It reflects EIG’s belief in LNG as a critical element of a lower-carbon, competitive and more secure global energy system.

The company has established a platform with a balance sheet of more than US$5 billion and interests in LNG projects across the Americas and Australia, supported by a marketing office in Singapore and a corporate office in London.

EIG is a major institutional investor in the global energy and infrastructure sectors with US$25.9 billion in assets under management as of March 31 2026.
