ADIB Capital ADIB Capital LAUNCHES NEW TRADE OPPORTUNITIES FUND ADIB Capital Limited, a wholly- owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Is- lamic Bank, located in DIFC and regulated by the DFSA, has launched a key fund for professional clients and market counterparties. The ADIB Islamic Trade Opportuni- ties Fund is a sharia-compliant in- vestment vehicle incorporated in DIFC, that aims to target short-dura- tion, trade opportunities exposed to developed markets (United States and Europe). The Fund seeks to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns with quarterly distributions, underpinned by a dis- ciplined approach to risk and liquid- ity management, said the statement from ADIB Capital. By investing in a diversified pool of trade opportunities primarily relating to counterparties from the US and Europe, the Fund’s strategy provides investors with access to a low-volatil- ity asset class that has historically demonstrated resilience across mar- ket cycles, it stated. Its underlying investments will be managed in collaboration with Gold- man Sachs Alternatives, leveraging its deep private credit expertise and institutional-grade risk controls. The Fund benefits from a unique and innovative structure that ensures the financing process is undertaken fully in adherence with Sharia principles, said the statement. The launch of the ADIB Islamic Trade Opportunities Fund reflects ADIB Capital’s ongoing commitment to de- livering differentiated, income-gen- erating solutions for investors in col- laboration with best-in-class asset managers. By offering access to real economy- linked trade flows, the strategy en- ables investors to diversify away from traditional fixed income while main- taining a conservative risk profile, said the ADIB Capital in its state- ment. With institutional infrastructure, strong governance, and a Sharia- compliant framework as approved by the Fund’s Sharia Supervisory Board, the Fund is positioned to pres- ent an attractive option for investors seeking stable returns, it added.
