A greater level of insight

Increasing competition and cost pressure, digital transformation and new oversight of asset managers and their products mean the world of asset management is changing. The United Arab Emirates is home to some of the largest Asset Managers in the Middle East Region, second only to Saudi Arabia – a very different landscape to 20 years ago thanks to significant transformation in regulatory infrastructure. With more strategies being rolled out by the Federal Government for the further development of the United Arab Emirates, these give ripe to new investment strategies, and increasingly complex asset management structures, and so provide opportunities for asset managers.
