Investcorp S.A.
 PROFILE
Known for reviving the upscale companies Saks, Tiffany, and Gucci, investment firm Investcorp has also bankrolled the less-glamorous Circle K (convenience stores), Prime Service (equipment rental), Simmons (mattresses), and CSK Auto (retail parts). As CEO, Iraqi-born and Chase Manhattan-bred Nemir Kirdar directs Investcorp's injections of what he calls "patient capital" into primarily North American and European companies. When business improves, Investcorp sells each company or takes it public, pays off investors, and pockets its profit. The firm also invests in real estate and manages some $1.3 billion in six funds.
