Grant Thornton UAE’s latest insights reveal how asset managers in the UAE and GCC can move beyond compliance and use data as a growth engine. The article outlines three key strategies: building a single, trusted data environment, applying AI to drive revenue, and personalising the investor experience.

In a new Grant Thornton series on trending international insights, we examine the wider impact of tariffs on the mid-market, where a dip in market confidence at the start of 2025 was just the start of more to come. The global economy may suffer further as trade tensions and uncertainty persist, but if there’s a silver lining, its likely to be found in the mid-market – the most resilient and opportunistic segment of the business landscape.
