What is Co-Investment?
Прямая инвестиция совместно с фондом в конкретную сделку, позволяющая инвесторам увеличить вложения в отдельный объект со сниженными или нулевыми дополнительными комиссиями.
Description
A co-investment is an opportunity for fund investors (LPs) to invest directly alongside the fund in a specific deal, beyond their fund commitment. Co-investments typically carry reduced fees (often no management fee or carry) because the GP needs additional capital for a deal that exceeds the fund's single-asset concentration limits.

Ability to increase exposure to the most attractive deals
DIFC-based real estate fund managers frequently offer co-investment opportunities for larger Dubai property acquisitions. These are typically reserved for existing LPs with larger commitments and are structured as separate SPVs alongside the main fund vehicle.
How to interpret
Co-investment opportunities are typically offered to existing LPs as a reward for their fund commitment. They represent higher conviction bets by the GP on specific deals. Before accepting a co-investment, evaluate it on its own merits rather than assuming the GP's enthusiasm guarantees standard. Conduct your own abbreviated due diligence on the specific asset.
The reduced fee structure in co-investments is a genuine advantage. No management fee and no carry on the co-invested capital means your gross return is your net return. Over a five to seven year hold, this fee saving can amount to several percentage points of total return.

These are typically reserved for existing LPs with larger commitments and are structured as separate SPVs alongside the main fund vehicle. Due diligence timelines are often compressed, so prior knowledge of the manager's deal sourcing process is helpful.
Dubai's high-value property market creates natural co-investment opportunities. A single commercial asset or a full residential building at AED 50 to 100 million may exceed a fund's single-asset concentration limit but is attractive. Co-investments allow the GP to close the deal while giving LPs a rare chance for direct access to premium assets.
