Abu Dhabi’s Lunate to Buy Minority Stake in Brevan Howard and Launch New Investment Platform
Abu Dhabi investment firm Lunate will buy a minority stake in the hedge fund Brevan Howard and create a new investment platform at the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the companies announced on Tuesday.
$2 Billion Commitment
As part of the deal, Lunate will invest $2 billion to start new funds under the platform. More money is expected to come later from both local and global investors. The cost of buying the Brevan Howard stake was not shared.
This move is Lunate’s first step into hedge funds, adding to its growing investment options in the Gulf and worldwide. Lunate manages about $110 billion, while Brevan Howard manages $34 billion.
The new funds will use Brevan Howard’s existing strategies, including macro investments and digital assets.
What They Said
Khalifa Al Suwaidi, Lunate’s managing partner, said:
“Our partnership with Brevan Howard marks our entry into hedge funds. It gives our clients access to new strategies and helps them diversify their portfolios.”
Alan Howard, Brevan Howard’s founder, added:
“This long-term partnership shows our strong commitment to the region. We look forward to building on it in the future.”
Brevan Howard in Abu Dhabi
Brevan Howard, founded over 20 years ago, opened its regional headquarters in ADGM in 2023, which is now its largest office by assets.
The partnership also supports Abu Dhabi’s goal of becoming a major global financial hub by attracting talent and using ADGM’s strong regulations, global reach, and infrastructure.
