Investment bank of the Week: Perella Weinberg Partners

Independent advisory house advised Qatar Holding on its $737m acquisition of fashion label Valentino from private equity firm Permira

Perella Weinberg Partners this week closed on one of its largest ever deals in the Middle East, just under two years after it established an office in the region with two senior hires from Nomura.

It was announced on Wednesday that Mayhoola for Investments, an investment vehicle backed by Qatar Holding LLC, had agreed to acquire the Valentino Fashion Group for $737.2m.
