Hedge Funds Help Drive Record Growth in Dubai Financial District
Hedge Funds Help Drive Record Growth in Dubai Financial District

(Bloomberg) -- Dubai’s financial district reported a record 25% increase in company registrations last year, helped in part to by a continuing influx of hedge funds that’s transformed the city into an emerging hub for the sector.

Dubai International Financial Centre now houses 6,920 active companies, up from 5,523 last year, according to a statement on Tuesday. That’s the most number of registrations in a single year.

Technology and innovation was the fastest growing sector, with registrations rising 38% to 1,245 companies in 2024, the DIFC said. It added that the alternative investment industry is growing faster than the market.

The financial free-zone is now home to 75 hedge funds, 48 of which have assets exceeding $1 billion each. “The Centre has become one of the world’s top ten locations for hedge funds and is on track to become top five in the coming years,” the DIFC said.

The United Arab Emirates, of which Dubai is a part, has emerged as a magnet for hedge funds over the past few years. Izzy Englander’s Millennium, Michael Platt’s BlueCrest Capital Management, and Balyasny have all expanded operations to Dubai, drawn by a slew of incentives, a favorable timezone and a low tax regime.

The sector employs over 1,000 people, Bloomberg News has reported, while overall headcount at the DIFC grew 10% to 46,078 last year. That’s also helping the city sidestep a commercial real estate slump, with DIFC owned and managed properties reporting occupancy rates of 99.8%.

Neighboring Abu Dhabi, which has the attraction of being one of few cities globally to manage more than $1.6 trillion in sovereign wealth, has also managed to draw in big names. Brevan Howard Asset Management now manages more money from that emirate than anywhere else, Bloomberg News has reported.

Kevin Spacey tells Guy Pearce to 'grow up'
Kevin Spacey has told Guy Pearce to "grow up" after the actor claimed he was "targeted" by his former co-star. The 65-year-old actor has taken to social media to hit back at Guy's recent claims, insisting that the 57-year-old star is "not a victim". In a video posted on X, Kevin - who starred alongside Guy in the 1997 movie 'L.A. Confidential' - said: "Guy Pearce, I've now read the comments that you made about me and while I would have preferred not to have to play this out in the media, you obviously have your own reasons for wanting to do exactly that. "But, we worked together a long time ago, you know? If I did something then that upset you, you could've reached out to me. We could've had that conversation. But instead, you've decided to speak to the press, who are now coming after me because they would like to know what my response is to the things that you've said. "You really want to know what my response is? Grow up." Kevin - whose career previously went into freefall after he was accused of sexual misconduct by a number of men - actually recalled spending time with Guy after they filmed 'L.A. Confidential'. He continued: "Did you also, by the way, tell the press that a year after we shot 'L.A. Confidential', you flew to Georgia while I was shooting 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' just to spend time with me?" Kevin also questioned why his former co-star took so long to voice his concerns. The actor - who was acquitted by a jury of sexual assault charges in 2023 - explained: "Here you are now on a mission some 28 years later, after I've been through hell and back, to do what? "I've got nothing to hide. But Guy, you need to grow up. You are not a victim." By contrast, Guy recently claimed that he was "targeted" by his former co-star. The actor told the 'Awards Chatter' podcast: "I was sort of scared of Kevin because he’s quite an aggressive man. "He’s extremely charming and brilliant at what he does - really impressive, etc. He holds a room remarkably. But I was young and susceptible, and he targeted me, no question."
