Fund Management & Investment Structuring
Investment vehicles built for governance, institutional subscription, and scale

Choosing between DIFC, ADGM, and offshore domiciles for a given investor base
Aligning sovereign, family office, and international LP expectations in one vehicle
We advise Gulf institutions, family offices, and development finance institutions on the design, governance, and management of investment vehicles — domiciled in the region’s financial centres or abroad, and built for the investors they are meant to attract.
Fund structuring in the Gulf turns on a domicile decision as much as an economic one: DIFC and ADGM offer common-law regimes and regulatory recognition, while onshore and offshore alternatives carry different tax, distribution, and investor-perception consequences. Each affects who can subscribe and on what terms.
Fund establishment in DIFC and ADGM, alternative strategies, infrastructure funds, and co-investment platforms for Gulf capital.
