Summary
The Abu Dhabi Global Market has introduced new regulatory routes for two categories of fund activity: managers of smaller private funds, and funds aimed exclusively at institutional or professional investors. According to the A&O Shearman article, the changes are intended to give global sponsors and institutional capital a clearer set of options within the ADGM framework.
The article's central question is which route is most appropriate for a given sponsor or investor.
