Fortress Investment Group has opened an office in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), and permission to undertake regulated activities through receipt of its financial services permission from the ADGM Financial Services Regulatory Authority – marking a significant milestone in the firm’s global expansion.
The new office will enable Fortress to expand its local footprint, deepen relationships with regional investors, and accelerate co-investment across private credit, real estate, and asset-based strategies.
“Our decision to establish an office in Abu Dhabi is a strategic step that reflects our conviction in the Gulf as a long-term investment and capital partner,” said Drew McKnight, co-CEO and managing partner at Fortress. “The region is increasingly influential in shaping the future of global private markets, and we are committed to being here — on the ground, fully engaged, and ready to invest alongside partners who share our long-term orientation.”
