In this episode, we take a closer look at the ADGM Category 3C Asset Manager License and what makes it one of the most important regulatory permissions for firms looking to manage assets from Abu Dhabi Global Market. We break down the updated capital rules, what the license truly covers, and how ADGM has strengthened its position as a fast-growing asset-management hub with flexible office options and a strong regulatory framework.

We also walk through the complete FSRA licensing process—from pre-application discussions and the Regulatory Business Plan to interviews, In-Principle Approval, and final authorisation. Along the way, we highlight key staffing expectations, cost components, and the ability for ADGM firms to serve clients across the UAE and beyond.
