ADGM, Abu Dhabi’s International Financial Centre (IFC), celebrated its tenth year of operation with yet another year of strong development and strategic achievements, solidifying its position as Abu Dhabi’s “Capital of Capital.”
ADGM continued to draw significant foreign investment, top-tier talent, and prestigious institutions to the UAE capital, building on the tremendous momentum of recent years. This development shows the strength of a healthy ecosystem that is based on collaborations, long-term wealth generation, and a strong dedication to excellence.
By the end of 2025, ADGM had more than 12,000 active licenses and 44,339 employees, a 51% increase from the previous year. Assets Under Management (AUM) increased by 36% in the meantime, highlighting Abu Dhabi’s continued status as a reliable base for international asset and wealth managers.
According to ADGM Chairman Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, “2025 marked a defining chapter in ADGM’s milestones.” Our AUMs increased significantly for another year, demonstrating the effectiveness of our investment strategies as well as the confidence of our partners. Our ability to draw top international players to ADGM was equally significant, solidifying our standing as a conduit for top talent, funding, and innovation.
