iCapital, the global fintech company shaping the future of investing, today announced the opening of its first office in the Middle East in Abu Dhabi within ADGM, the international financial center of Abu Dhabi, the Capital of the UAE. The firm has received its in-principle approval for advisory and arranging services in the ADGM, which is subject to receipt of final regulatory approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of ADGM.
This strategic expansion underscores iCapital’s strong commitment to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the wider Middle East and strengthens its ability to deliver innovative private market solutions to banks, wealth managers, and family offices across the Gulf region. Establishing a presence in Abu Dhabi’s international financial center provides iCapital with a gateway to the GCC (Gulf Corporation Council), leveraging ADGM’s globally recognized regulatory framework and dynamic ecosystem.
Arvind Ramamurthy, Chief Market Development Officer at ADGM, said: “We welcome iCapital to ADGM, as it establishes its first office in the Middle East. Their decision to establish a presence here reflects the confidence global firms place in our robust regulatory framework and vibrant financial ecosystem. With strong connectivity to international investors and a collaborative community, ADGM offers an ideal platform for firms driving innovation in private markets. We look forward to iCapital’s contribution to Abu Dhabi’s growing asset and wealth management landscape.”
“The opening of our new office in Abu Dhabi marks a significant milestone in our global expansion strategy and reinforces our long-term commitment to the GCC,” said Marco Bizzozero, Head of International and Member of the Executive Committee at iCapital. “The region is one of the world’s fastest growing wealth markets with an increasing demand for private markets, and we are proud to support local banks, wealth managers, and their clients with a comprehensive suite of private market investment solutions. Having a local presence strengthens our role as a trusted partner, underscores our ambition to develop and deepen relationships, and allows us to be closer to where our clients are.“
The new office will strengthen iCapital’s strategic partnership with MPW Capital Advisors, a licensed and regulated financial services firm headquartered in Abu Dhabi.
The new Abu Dhabi office will join iCapital’s global network of 17 locations and will mark the firm’s 10th office outside the US alongside Zurich, London, Edinburgh, Lisbon, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, Toronto, and Tokyo. With over $270 billion in global platform assets, iCapital continues to redefine access to private markets for wealth managers and their clients worldwide.
