Deyaar postpones distressed fund

United Arab Emirates: 13 hours, 37 minutes ago
Dubai-based developer Deyaar has delayed a Dhs500m ($136.1m) distressed property fund after international investors withdrew Dhs200m previously committed, the National has reported. The company launched the fund last summer to buy distressed properties from its own portfolio as well as other properties, as it looked to boost returns for shareholders.
