Supplementary Guidance on Digital Investment Management
The Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) has issued this supplementary guidance to establish a tailored regulatory framework for Digital Investment Managers operating in the Abu Dhabi Global Market. The document mandates that these algorithm-driven firms obtain a Financial Services Permission and meet specific prudential capital requirements while delivering core services such as advising, asset management, or arranging deals. Furthermore, it requires robust algorithm governance, stringent data security and anti-money laundering controls, and rigorous suitability assessments to ensure client protection in a largely automated investment model.
