SuperReturn Middle East 2027

SuperReturn Middle East is the regional edition of Informa Connect's SuperReturn private capital series. Held at The Ritz-Carlton in Dubai's DIFC, it is built around LP–GP meetings: global fund managers come to meet the Gulf's sovereign wealth funds, institutions and family offices, and to hear where regional capital is being allocated next.

Who attends

The organiser reports a near 1:1 ratio of limited partners to general partners. At the 2026 edition, LPs included sovereign wealth funds such as Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Public Investment Fund and Mubadala Investment Company; DFIs such as IFC, AIIB and KfW Capital; and single family offices. GPs came from the region and from the US, UK and Asia.
