Headquartered in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), ASB Capital is shortly set for an official launch with AUMs of USD 4.5 billion.
The announcement was made on the sidelines of the Gateway Gulf Investment Forum held in the Kingdom of Bahrain on November 3 and 4, 2024.

ASB Capital has entered into an exclusive partnership with one of the world's largest global asset manager to offer a specialized global equity fund to the markets. Additionally, ASB Capital will enter the Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) space by launching a suite of passive investment products in an exclusive collaboration with a leading global ETF provider. Moreover, ASB Capital plans to offer private markets products, including private equity, venture capital, real estate, and other innovative offerings in collaboration with established partners. These partnerships and investment solutions highlight ASB Capital's commitment to become a comprehensive financial solutions provider for the MEA region.

As part of Al Salam Bank Group, ASB Capital's position allows it to capitalize on synergies within banking, insurance, and other financial services complementing the Group's aspirations in the MEA region. ASB Capital is strategically aligned with the Bank's long-term growth objectives and aims to leverage the region's evolving financial landscape to build a sustainable asset management business. ASB Capital Services, the operational backbone of ASB Capital located in Bahrain, is positioned to support economic growth and reinforce Bahrain's status as a hub for Islamic finance and asset management.
ASB Capital will continue to increase AUMs in its aspiration to become one of the top 10 asset managers in the region, building a brand of excellence in asset and wealth management, while integrating the latest investment solutions to meet the evolving needs of clients.
