The investment arm of the Roy Disney family is launching a $125 million fund to invest in Israel. Shamrock Capital Advisors announced the four-year initiative Thursday, Ha’aretz reported. “My family has a history of investing in Israel,” said Abigail Disney, Shamrock’s vice chairman, noting the group’s “strong, deep commitment to Israel.” The fund will make investments of $5 million to $20 million in export-oriented, middle-market businesses.

Stanley Gold, Shamrock’s president, said the company is particularly interested in Israel’s defense industry and is mulling the possibility of joining one of the groups expected to bid for Israel Military Industries. Shamrock has invested about $500 million in Israel over the past 18 years

Thank G-d its primarily military investment. One shudders to imagine a Biblical theme park if the "imagineers" at Disney got their hands on it.

This is good news.

Stanley Gold has been Roy's partner in business since forever.

They both fought Eisner for decades....or what seemed like decades.

Hope it pays well.
