| Gulfmena Granted License To Operate From The DIFC |
by Lorys Charalambous, Tax-News.com, Cyprus
Thursday, September 03, 2009
Gulfmena Alternative Investments Ltd has been granted a licence by the Dubai
Financial Services Authority (DFSA) to operate as an asset management company
from the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
Gulfmena is a fund and asset manager specialising in the Middle East and North
Africa (MENA) markets. Its primary fund management activity focuses on introducing
absolute return strategies and enhanced alpha solutions for institutional clients
and qualified high net worth investors seeking exposure to MENA markets.
The
company also offers international and regional clients customised strategies
and investment management services catering to both conventional and Shariah-compliant
investors.
Omar Bin Sulaiman, Governor of the DIFC explained that:
“The MENA region has long been a part of the emerging markets portfolio
of major global funds, and, over the years, it has provided significant returns
as the region’s economies revitalised themselves and grew rapidly.”
“Now with the shift in the world’s economic centre of gravity
to the East, speeded up by the financial crisis in the West, the MENA region
offers even greater potential for economic growth and wealth creation.”
Gulfmena will introduce its flagship investment strategy through ‘Gulfmena
Arab Opportunities Fund’ a macro-directional (market-directional) absolute
return public equities fund that will be launched in the last quarter of 2009.
The first MENA hedge fund of its kind, the Fund seeks to adopt Global Investment
Performance Standards (GIPS) from the start.
