Blackstone, the world’s largest alternative asset manager with nearly $1.2tn in AUM, is exploring a strategic partnership with Doha Bank to broaden access to its private market strategies for qualified investors in Qatar.

The proposed collaboration aims to offer Doha Bank’s clients exposure to Blackstone’s institutional-grade investment platforms across private equity, real estate, private credit, multi-asset credit, and infrastructure. If finalised, the partnership would mark a significant step in expanding access to global private market opportunities in the Qatari market.

The initiative seeks to combine Blackstone’s four-decade track record in private markets with Doha Bank’s regional presence and distribution capabilities. This would provide Qatari investors with a diversified entry point into perpetual investment vehicles traditionally reserved for institutional clients.

“This initiative with Blackstone, the global leader in private markets, is a significant milestone for Doha Bank,” said Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Fahad bin Faisal Al-Thani, Group CEO of Doha Bank. “By leveraging Blackstone’s extensive expertise and investment platforms, we are poised to provide our clients with unparalleled access to private market solutions.”

Rashmi Madan, Head of EMEA for Blackstone Private Wealth, added: “We are pleased to explore a partnership with Doha Bank to bring private markets investing to investors in Qatar. This work builds on our mission to give access to institutional-quality investing to individual investors.”

The potential tie-up underscores growing regional demand for diversified, risk-adjusted investment strategies as investors seek access to global private markets. The firms have not yet disclosed a formal timeline for launching the offering.
