Move deepens long-term commitment to the Middle East
Bain Capital recently announced the opening of its office in ADGM, the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi.
The new office builds on Bain Capital’s long-standing relationships across the Middle East and reflects the firm’s continued commitment to investing, partnering, and supporting growth across priority sectors in the region.
Strategy
Bain Capital’s strategy in the Middle East is anchored in three pillars:
- It will further reinforce the firm’s capital formation efforts, supporting long-term relationships with regional investors across Bain Capital’s global investment platform.
- It will support the expansion and growth of select Bain Capital portfolio companies in the Middle East.
- It will help position Bain Capital to evaluate, over time, more direct investment activity in the region as markets develop and attractive opportunities emerge.
The Abu Dhabi office will serve as a regional hub supporting deeper engagement across the Middle East, while also strengthening connectivity with the firm’s global footprint.
Partnerships
“Bain Capital has built trusted partnerships across the Middle East over decades, grounded in shared values, a long-term orientation, and a belief that the region is playing an increasingly central role in global capital and company-building,” stated David Gross, Managing Partner at Bain Capital.
“Many of the region’s leading institutions have been long-term investors in our funds, and those relationships have grown over time into broader strategic collaboration. The Abu Dhabi office strengthens our ability to work side-by-side with partners across the region,” noted Tom Sargeant, Partner and Head of APAC and Middle East Investor Relations, Bain Capital.
“ADGM provides that foundation, combining a robust legal framework, access to deep and patient capital, and a system designed to support global investors at scale,” commented HE Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman, ADGM.
