What we read in them

ADGM does not publish a count of family offices, so these figures describe the centre as a whole. They still matter to a family: more asset managers and funds on the same island means more choice of managers, banks and service providers close to the family office.

For a single family office, ADGM's threshold is USD 10 million in assets, against USD 50 million in DIFC. ADGM's own published fees for a single family office are USD 5,600 to set up and USD 5,300 a year to renew.

ADGM did not report family office or foundation numbers in these results. We will add them when ADGM publishes them.
