In September 2026, we officially opened our new office in the heart of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), marking another milestone in the continued organic expansion of our international footprint.
As an independent, family- and employee-owned asset manager, we pursue growth in a considered and patient way. Long-term thinking and a clear understanding of our core strengths guide our business decisions, and our choice to establish an on-the-ground presence in Dubai is a prime example of this approach.
A COMMITMENT BASED ON A SHARED FOCUS ON LONG-TERM THINKING
The DIFC offers a robust regulatory framework, internationally recognised legal standards and an efficient business environment, making it an attractive location for asset managers with a long-term strategic outlook, like Carmignac. Dubai’s increasing influence as a financial centre, supported by the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) – which seeks to transform the emirate into a top four global financial destination – further reinforces its attractiveness as a regional hub.
Our local presence enables us to work more closely with clients and partners across the wider GCC1 market, deepen our understanding of regional investment needs, and contribute to the continued development of the Middle East’s investment ecosystem. Beyond the region, Dubai’s unique geographical position at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East makes it a global hub connecting capital and investment opportunities across some of the world’s fastest-growing markets, including the Global South.
A SOPHISTICATED MARKET WITH EVER-EVOLVING REQUIREMENTS
The wider GCC market favours active management, an area in which Carmignac has built a strong reputation since its foundation in 1989. According to recent data2, active strategies accounted for €47bn of assets under management across the region, with €8bn invested in passive products.
Investor demand in the region is increasingly centred on income-oriented strategies, particularly across fixed income and multi-asset solutions. At the same time, appetite continues to grow for higher-growth opportunities in equities, technology and emerging markets. While the UAE is already home to many established global players, we strongly believe that our differentiators are our active, high-conviction approach, our agility, and our commitment to bringing only best-in-class products to market.
A DIVERSIFIED PLATFORM FOR MATURE INVESTORS
Carmignac is well positioned to meet evolving investor needs through its recognised expertise in fixed income, including strategies with income share classes designed for yield-oriented investors, its dedicated technology equity strategy, and its long-standing emerging markets capabilities, building on an investment process established in the 1990s and recognised as pioneering in the asset class. Together, these strengths enable Carmignac to offer investors a diversified range of solutions across both income generation and long-term capital growth, helping clients navigate an evolving investment landscape.
A TIME-TESTED TRACK RECORD
With over $50.6 billion in assets under management (AUM) and more than 37 years of experience serving international clients, Carmignac has developed deep expertise across both the wealth and institutional segments, working with private banks, financial advisers, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurance companies. We are bringing this experience to Dubai, the UAE and the wider region and look forward to building long-term partnerships with clients and market participants, founded on trust, collaboration and shared learning.
