Guidance and Policies Manual (GPM)
The ADGM regulator issued this manual to detail its regulatory policies, risk-based authorisation framework, and supervisory approach for financial services firms operating within the jurisdiction. It requires applicants to demonstrate fitness and propriety, satisfy threshold conditions for specific regulated activities, and obtain financial services permissions or recognition orders before conducting business. The document further establishes a structured investigation process, codifies enforcement and disciplinary powers—including financial penalties and public censures—and clarifies decision-making procedures alongside publicity requirements.
