Future of Asset Management Middle East
Early bird tickets available
The Middle East presents a complex and dynamic landscape for asset management. As the region continues to deal with conflict and geopolitical challenges, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has demonstrated remarkable resilience, fostering growth and attracting continued investment rates above the global average.
Entering a new era of investment, the GCC is propelled by robust sovereign wealth funds, large-scale domestic projects, and supportive government initiatives. Initiatives such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 are driving economic growth and establishing the region as a premier investment destination. Positioned as a crucial economic hub between the East and West, and offering dollar-denominated returns with emerging market growth, the GCC offers unparalleled advantages for global trade and investment. Despite its growth potential, the region poses challenges for asset management firms, including a scarcity of skilled professionals, complex and evolving regulatory landscapes, and fierce industry competition. As governments increasingly encourage the reshoring of assets domestically, how can local and international asset managers strategically position themselves to seize these growth opportunities while addressing challenges?
Hosted by the Financial Times, in collaboration with MandateWire, Future of Asset Management Middle East is a must-attend, two-day conference gathering leading executives from top asset management firms, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices across the Middle East and beyond. Featuring industry debates, intimate breakout sessions, and exclusive roundtables, the event will uncover opportunities for growth in this dynamic region amidst global economic and political shifts.
Who will you meet?
The event will provide the invaluable opportunity to meet with C-suite executives from world-leading asset management firms, institutional investors, regulators, asset servicers, academics, and renowned FT journalists.
Use our dedicated networking app, powered by Brella, to schedule meetings with industry peers away from the buzz of the main stage and make valuable connections. Engage in meaningful discussions, foster new relationships, and expand your professional network in an environment designed to facilitate collaboration and innovation.
