Blue Owl Capital Opens Regional Headquarters in Abu Dhabi
The alternative investment manager's new ADGM office is its seventh across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Blue Owl Capital, a US-based alternative investment asset manager, has opened a new office in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), establishing a regional headquarters for its operations in the Middle East.
The office is Blue Owl's seventh location across Europe, the Middle East and Africa and its 23rd globally. It will house members of the firm's Institutional Capital and GP Stakes teams.
According to the company, the expansion reflects the growing importance of the Middle East as both an investment destination and a source of institutional capital, particularly across alternative asset classes.
The move marks the latest step in Blue Owl's regional growth strategy, building on relationships the firm has developed with investors in the UAE and the wider Middle East.
Arvind Ramamurthy, Chief Market Development Officer at ADGM, said the addition of Blue Owl would further strengthen the financial centre's asset management ecosystem and broaden the expertise available within its community of international firms.
Blue Owl Capital currently operates 23 offices worldwide, with the Abu Dhabi location serving as a base for expanding its activities across the region.
