Global investment management firm Hillhouse Investment Management has opened a new office in Abu Dhabi's financial centre, one of the first companies to announce this move since the start of the Iran war. The UAE has been attractive to companies and high-net-worth individuals due to its tax-free environment and ease of doing business. Hillhouse, which has over $100 billion in assets under management, is known for its hedge fund and private equity investments and has also moved into real estate and private credit. The firm was an early investor in Chinese tech giants Tencent Holdings (0700.HK) and JD.com Inc.
