Abu Dhabi’s rise as a leading destination for international finance shows no signs of slowing, with the latest firm to establish a presence in the capital being Blue Owl Capital, one of the world’s largest alternative asset managers, which has announced the launch of a new office at ADGM.
Announcing the launch of a new office at ADGM, the move adds another major name to the city’s expanding financial ecosystem and signals continued confidence in the emirate’s position as a gateway to regional and global investment opportunities.

A Major Addition to Abu Dhabi’s Financial Landscape
The new office marks Blue Owl Capital’s first permanent base in Abu Dhabi and will act as a hub for its activities across the Middle East.
By setting up within ADGM, the firm joins a growing list of international investment houses that have selected the capital as a strategic location from which to engage with institutional investors throughout the region.
Why Firms Are Choosing Abu Dhabi
It was announced earlier this year that global technology investor Vista Equity Partners and global hedge fund firm Man Group set up shop in ADGM, with Abu Dhabi becoming increasingly attractive to global asset managers, private equity firms, and investment companies.
Access to major pools of capital and a rapidly expanding financial sector have helped position the city as arguably the most influential investment centre in the region.
More Momentum for ADGM
The announcement also highlights ADGM’s continued success in attracting international financial institutions, as more partnerships and limited companies establish operations in the capital.
Abu Dhabi’s reputation as a centre for alternative investments, asset management and private capital continues to grow, with the inclination that more reputable firms will be making a similar move.
