Abu Dhabi’s $1 trillion wealth fund, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), is adopting a more scientific approach to investing to speed up decision-making and enhance returns. This strategy includes leveraging a 125-person team of data scientists to guide in-house investments. ADIA is also increasing its allocations to private credit and private equity, and working with a broader range of hedge funds. These changes reflect a shift from traditional conservative investments to more dynamic and diversified strategies. https://lnkd.in/g4yUE7EU

Triton Liquid Fund is now live.    Triton Liquid is a digital asset hedge fund, which combines fundamental research with data analysis to invest in liquid tokens across the entire digital asset landscape. We have just been granted our In-Principal Approval from Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) for a Financial Services Permission. We chose to domicile in Abu Dhabi because it is rapidly emerging as a globally recognized center for digital asset innovation, with a progressive regulatory regime and pragmatic leadership. FJ Labs initially anchored this strategy with $30M USD. Since November, we have increased our market exposure from 20% to 100%.    We continue to believe that now is the optimal time to allocate to crypto, and that there are a number of tailwinds that make this year particularly attractive. More about our fund launch in the comments below.

During the Astana Finance Days panel session “Tokenising the Future: The Evolution of Fund Structures” we discussed the intention of representatives of SkyBridge Invest, Lazard Asset Management and Bitfinex Securities in the AIFC to set up a fund of funds involving all these companies. “It's just our joint intention to set up a fund of funds here today, in cooperation with such prominent player such as Lazard. And in this project, we heavily rely on the platform of Bitfinex Securities in terms of their capability of tokenisation. And the whole idea started a little more than one year ago. We started our discussion and finally, after a number of calls and meetings, this simple idea of distribution of funds of Lazard with many different broad spectrum of funds into Kazakhstan initiated, and they were ready to share their strong expertise in asset management. The idea suddenly evolved into setting up a fully-fledged fund of funds here in the AIFC under AFSA's support and supervision. What I would like to say, fund of funds is a unique vehicle and it's an opportunity to combine and aggregate multiple strategies, multiple asset classes within one portfolio. I would like to tell that after setting up a fund here, we will tokenise its units on Bitfinex platform. And this will give us an opportunity to bolster asset under management by getting an access to local crypto-digital asset investors," said Zamira Sundetova, Member of the Management Board of SkyBridge Invest - Director of the SkyBridge Invest Branch in the AIFC.

Abu Dhabi Firms Launch Investment Fund to Tokenize U.S. Treasury Bill ETFs Two Abu Dhabi firms, Realize and Neovision Wealth Management, have launched a fund that tokenizes U.S. Treasury bill exchange-traded funds. The fund aims to attract investors from the Gulf, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia Investors to Dominate Fund Abu Dhabi firms Realize and Neovision Wealth Management have unveiled an investment fund that acquires units of U.S. Treasury bill-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and tokenizes them. Known as the Realize T-Bills Fund, the fund will acquire shares of Blackrock’s low-cost ishares and State Street’s SPDR ETFs. According to a Reuters report, the two firms aim to grow the fund to $200 million. Realize will tokenize units of the fund. Another report suggests a target of $100 million in assets under management within 12 months. Dominik Schiener, co-founder of Realize, said he expects investors from Gulf states to contribute 20% to 30% of the $100 million, with the remainder coming from Europe and Southeast Asia. “Southeast Asia is going to be our largest demographic. We also want to do a lot in the Middle East because it has a high penetration of crypto users and wealthy individuals,” Schiener said. #cubicuslabs #crypto @abudhabi
