Strategic risk mitigation for asset managers in the Middle East
The Middle East remains a significant opportunity for asset managers, driven by rapid economic transformation and vast capital reserves. As governments push forward with diversification efforts and sovereign wealth funds pursue strategic investments, the region's potential is clear. However, recent escalations in conflict in the region have introduced new complexities for asset managers operating in the area. What do these developments mean for their portfolios, and how can CEOs and regional heads effectively mitigate the associated risks?
Hosted by MandateWire in collaboration with FT Live this session will brought together a panel of experts to discuss how to mitigate risks for asset management firms operating in the Middle East. From geopolitical risk assessment to regulatory considerations, gain crucial insights to guide your firm's expansion into this intricate market.
