Among them, 81 are heavyweight players handling over a billion dollars each, with investments spreading across Asia, Europe, and America. Big shots like BlackRock, Millennium, Brevan Howard, BlueCrest, and ExodusPoint have all planted their flags in DIFC.
DIFC boss Arif Amiri said, “This milestone proves our platform’s strength and the trust global investors have in us. Our client-focused approach and innovation are fuelling this massive surge!”
What makes DIFC so hot? Stable regulations, top-class talent pool, easy access to capital from three continents, and the handy DIFC Funds Centre for fast setups. Plus, over 85% of these funds can be tapped directly from private and sovereign wealth funds right there.
DIFC is now the undisputed leader for alternative investments in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia region. Dubai is truly putting itself on the global finance map, no doubt!
