CFI Financial Group scales its UAE branch operations
CFI Financial Group, a leading global trading and investment services provider, has announced the expansion of its UAE-regulated entity into Abu Dhabi. The move marks a significant step in the company's strategic growth within the region, aimed at strengthening its presence in the Middle East and enhancing its ability to serve clients across the UAE.
The expansion, confirmed by the company this week, involves the establishment of a new office in Abu Dhabi, a key financial hub in the UAE. CFI's new branch will operate under the supervision of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), one of the region's premier regulatory bodies, offering an array of financial products and services. The expansion is part of CFI’s broader vision to offer local investors access to global markets, providing clients with a wider range of trading instruments including forex, stocks, and commodities.
According to FNG, CFI's move into Abu Dhabi follows the success of its operations in Dubai, where the company has been regulated by the UAE’s Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA). By establishing a presence in both of the UAE's financial centers, the company aims to cater to a broader clientele, including institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and retail traders.
“Expanding into Abu Dhabi is a key milestone in our UAE growth strategy. We are thrilled to be closer to the heart of the city and our valued client base in Abu Dhabi. This vibrant capital is a pivotal market for us and a hub of innovation and progress,” said CFI's Co-Founder and Managing Director, Hisham Mansour. He emphasized that the company’s expansion will allow CFI to enhance its service offerings, providing personalized solutions that meet the unique needs of the Abu Dhabi financial community.
The decision to expand into Abu Dhabi comes at a time of growing demand for diversified investment services in the UAE. As regional economies continue to diversify away from oil and focus on financial services, the appetite for global trading platforms is on the rise. CFI aims to capitalize on this trend by offering clients access to over 10,000 trading instruments, including equities, indices, ETFs, and more.
CFI's new Abu Dhabi office will also provide educational resources and market insights to help clients make informed investment decisions. “Education is a core element of our offering. We are not just providing trading tools but empowering our clients with the knowledge and insights needed to succeed in the global markets,” Mansour added.
With this expansion, CFI seeks to position itself as a leader in the competitive Middle East financial services sector. The company's focus on regulatory compliance and transparency has allowed it to build a strong reputation among traders and investors, both locally and globally. By being regulated under both ADGM and SCA, CFI can offer a secure and reliable platform for trading in multiple markets, further enhancing its credibility.
