Arrow Global Group Limited, a pan-European alternative asset manager specialising in credit and real estate, announced the opening of its new office in the UAE, strengthening its commitment to one of the world’s financial hubs. Located in the center of the UAE’s financial district, the office marks a key milestone in Arrow’s expansion and underscores the importance of the Middle East as one of the firm’s largest funding markets.
The presence enhances Arrow’s ability to serve institutional investors across the Gulf, including “sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, insurance companies, and family offices, by providing direct access to differentiated private credit and real estate opportunities across Europe.”
The new office will be led by Hani Kabbabe, MD and Head of Middle East. Hani is responsible for “developing Arrow’s business and partnerships across the region.”
He brings considerable institutional experience in financial markets, “having previously led Russell Investments’ business in the Middle East, where he advised a range of clients including sovereign wealth funds and insurance companies on outsourced CIO, asset management and implementation solutions.”
Prior to that, he held roles “at Metzler Asset Management in Frankfurt and Commerzbank AG and began his career as a trader in North America.”
Arrow Global claims that it has a 20-year track record in credit and real estate investing, with “€125 billion in assets under servicing.” Operating through 25 servicing and investment platforms, Arrow applies a “vertically integrated model to source, execute, and manage granular investments across Western Europe with scale, precision and local insight.”
Founded in 2005, Arrow Global is a European alternative asset manager with a vertically integrated investment model “across private credit and real estate.”
Arrow says that it currently owns asset management and servicing platforms, boosting “operational efficiency and maximising asset value across market cycles.”
With key European regulatory licences, Arrow reportedly manages around €125 billion in third-party AUM, with a “track record of over €14 billion invested over the past 20 years.” The firm says that it currently operates across Western Europe, with its head offices located in London along with additional offices in financial centres such as Paris, Milan, Madrid, Berlin, Amsterdam, Dublin, Luxembourg, and Lisbon.
