Steve Barnett: Abu Dhabi and the wealth management centre

"Abu Dhabi has more than a trillion dollars of wealth invested around the world. We have 2 of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world. We have one of the highest GDPs per capita. We’re a center of wealth, and we’ve been a center of wealth for a long time; what we’re not providing people with is a wealth management region within the center. A place where they can do business, where Abu Dhabi and the region can repatriate some of the financial services that they previously had to do around the world."

Steve Barnett is Financial Centre Development Director at Abu Dhabi Global Market. At FundForum International, he says  "people are looking to invest close to where they are making their money". Watch on.
