Argentem Creek Partners, an emerging markets credit specialist firm recently took part at the NYU AD Fall 2022 Career Fair which was held at the university’s Saadiyat Island Campus on September 22.
The first in-person career fair event since the pandemic, the fair provided organizations and recruiters an opportunity to meet and engage with over 400 students across all majors exploring career opportunities in the region.
Argentem Creek Partners presence at the fair is a testament to its continued commitment to contributing to the growth of talent integration in the financial services workforce
College students play a key role in the development and growth of the UAE, considering that the youth in the age range 15 to 24 represent over 40 percent of the country’s population according to reports.
Initiatives like the UAE National Youth Agenda are therefore a priority by the government in preparing its youth for a post-oil economy.
Earlier in July, Argentem Creek expanded its global presence in the region by establishing its MENA and Asia HQ in Abu Dhabi, in partnership with ADIO (Abu Dhabi Investment Office) as part of the latter’s $545 million (AED 2 billion) Innovation Programme that supports innovative companies in high-growth areas, including financial services.
The US-based firm which invests across special situations, private credit, high yield, and trade finance aims to increase access to investment opportunities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and Asia.
Daniel Chapman CEO & CIO Argentem Creek
“Argentem Creek Partners is committed to cultivating local and regional partnerships. Key to that initiative is to develop local Emirati talent and bring emerging markets knowledge and deal flow to support Abu Dhabi’s financial services infrastructure. As we grow our presence in UAE, we will contribute to the integration of local Emirati talent through summer programs, internships, and local talent hiring.”
Mr. Chapman also highlighted that, “NYU is one of the most prominent universities, featuring top-ranked academic programs across disciplines, creating an ideal pipeline of talent.”
