This is the firm's most specific, most sourced GCC data point, concentrated in a small number of large, sophisticated allocators — it anchors this page rather than a generic Gulf statistic.

Why This Geography Matters to Rajanshir

The United Arab Emirates is Rajanshir's principal GCC operating market and a leading source of internationally active family offices, sovereign-related institutions, and sophisticated private capital.

Candidly
What Makes Cross-Border Work Here
For a UAE allocator moving capital into North America, the friction is less about market access — large UAE allocators already have relationships with top-tier institutional buyers — and more about extending that same access and structuring discipline down to mid-market sponsors, family offices, and developers who don't have existing Gulf relationships. That means navigating US-side regimes (FATCA, FIRPTA, AML) alongside UAE-side financial-promotion and advisory-licensing rules (DFSA, SCA) on the way out.

General awareness only — not tax or legal advice. Discuss specific regulatory requirements with qualified counsel.
