Interested in this firm. I'm currently in the US but I'm quite interested in moving to the UAE being honest.

Some notes on their prior fund:

"By going into uncharted territory where most investors don't dare to tread, the Chandler brothers have, in the space of 20 years, grown a family fortune of $10 million into a cool $5 billion -- and they're still in their mid-40s. Along the way they have made waves by being among the first and biggest investors in such emerging markets as Brazil, the Czech Republic and Russia and playing an instrumental -- and controversial -- role in advocating economic reform and better corporate governance."

Seems like a pretty cool group!

Legatum is what opened after the brothers (Rich and Chris) split ways after compounding 36% for 20 years; turning 10m into 5bn. These guys are highly skilled at buying high quality assets when they are in distress.
