Abu Dhabi Financial Group first to launch fund on Abu Dhabi Global Market
Abu Dhabi Financial Group (" ADFG") has actually ended up being the very first business to launch a fund through the Abu Dhabi Global Market (" ADGM"), the Goldilocks Investment Company (" Goldilocks").
With a financial investment method targeting underestimated chances on GCC markets, the AED735 million (US$ 200 million), ADFG-managed Goldilocks fund aims to seek out equities with a compelling risk/reward profile, and where the Group's involvement can function as a driver to increase value for all stakeholders by way of improvement of management patterns and governance amongst other strategies. Goldilocks is open to regional and international investors, offering access to a pioneering investment strategy billed "constructivism"-- or constructive activism-- a first for the area. Over the in 2015, ADFG's capital markets business, Integrated Capital, has purchased a similar strategy, delivering returns in excess of 120 percent.
Discussing the launch of Goldilocks, Jassim Alseddiqi, CEO of ADFG, said: "ADFG is proud to record another pioneering accomplishment in launching the very first fund through ADGM, the world's latest international financial centre and a global beacon for the Abu Dhabi financial services market.

" Through Goldilocks, ADFG will continue to look for opportunities in equity markets where it can favorably transform a business's fortune, revitalising business strategy and providing the motivation to spur it on to future success."
