ABU DHABI, ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, September 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- FSRA-authorized firm launches investment infrastructure platform that enables asset and fund managers to establish and service fund structures across multiple jurisdictions within weeks

Fund+ Ltd ("Fund+"), a licensed fund and asset manager, today announced its official launch from ADGM, the international financial center of the UAE's capital, Abu Dhabi, as growing numbers of international investment managers seek faster and more efficient routes to establishing regulated investment vehicles.

Fund+ holds a Financial Services Permission from ADGM's Financial Services Regulatory Authority (“FSRA”), positioning the regulated firm as an investment infrastructure platform for asset managers, family offices and institutional investors across the region and beyond.

Operating from ADGM provides Fund+ with a base in one of the world's fastest-growing international financial centers. ADGM's application of English common law, together with its internationally recognized regulatory framework, has helped position Abu Dhabi as an increasingly attractive destination for global asset managers and investment businesses seeking access to regional and international markets.

Launching an investment vehicle has traditionally required investment managers to coordinate multiple legal, regulatory and operational providers, often resulting in duplicated processes, increased costs and lengthy implementation timelines before an investment strategy can be brought to market.

Fund+ addresses this challenge by bringing together fund structuring, hosting platforms, documentation, investor onboarding, operational support and compliance through a single integrated platform. Fund+ is also investing in digitising the fund structuring and investor onboarding process, with the aim of further reducing the time and operational overhead required to bring new vehicles to market.

This enables investment managers to establish and service investment vehicles across multiple jurisdictions within weeks rather than months.

The model is designed to reduce the cost, complexity and operational burden traditionally associated with establishing a standalone regulated fund management business, allowing investment managers to concentrate on investment strategy, capital raising and investor relationships rather than coordinating multiple service providers.

Fund+ currently supports fund structures in ADGM, the Cayman Islands and Delaware, in addition to actively managed certificates from Luxembourg, and investment special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”)

The firm's Financial Services Permission (FSP No. 220138) covers a full suite of regulated activities, including:
• Managing a Collective Investment Fund
• Managing Assets
• Advising on Investments or Credit
• Arranging Deals in Investments
• Arranging Custody

Allen Merhej, CEO of Fund+, said "Launching a registered investment vehicle remains more complicated than it should be. Investment managers are often required to coordinate multiple advisers and service providers, each operating with different processes, timelines and responsibilities.

Fund+ was created to simplify that experience. By bringing together fund structuring, documentation, hosting services, investor onboarding, operations and compliance within a single integrated platform, we enable managers to focus on investment performance and capital raising rather than operational complexity.

Abu Dhabi has established itself as one of the world's fastest-growing asset management hubs. ADGM's internationally recognised regulatory framework has created an attractive environment for global investment managers, and we believe demand for flexible, infrastructure platforms will continue to grow as more firms establish a presence in the region."

Operating from ADGM, Fund+ serves professional clients across a broad range of asset classes, including venture capital, private equity and public markets, providing a single point of access to investment vehicle structuring, hosted fund platform, and investment management services.
