Hillhouse Investment Management has officially opened a new office within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and secured a Category 3C license from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA).
This move reflects the company’s long-term commitment and confidence in the region’s rapidly evolving financial ecosystem and its dedication to supporting both investment activity and client partnerships across the UAE, as well as the broader Gulf region.
Hillhouse has already established a strong presence across businesses in the UAE through several investments, including Virtuzone and Clara via its business services platform Ascentium, as well as Hartland International School and North London Collegiate School in the education real estate space via its real assets investment arm Rava Partners.
