Over the past year there has been an increase in interest from alternative investment fund managers, including some of the largest names in the industry, to expand and set up operations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This webinar discussed recent headlines as to why alternative investment fund managers are looking at the UAE, and in particular Abu Dhabi, as a jurisdiction of choice for their businesses.

Speakers discussed various aspects for what makes the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) an increasingly popular jurisdiction for fund managers to establish operations. The discussion covered the considerations that need to be made for establishing a presence in the ADGM for the purposes of fund management or raising capital, understanding how to navigate the ADGM workings, which new investment strategies are getting more attention, including digital asset funds, and recent relevant regulatory updates.
