DIFC says it hosts more than 600 wealth and asset management firms

The announcement accompanies meetings on private wealth and alternative investments. Event material also describes discussions of sharia-compliant finance and insurance.

The announced milestone measures a number of firms, rather than assets under management or capital recently transferred to Dubai. The sources reviewed relay the centre’s communication and provide neither an independent count nor a comparable series from which annual growth could be calculated.
