Nettlestone Capital Advisors, a senior-led advisory and capital raising firm, has officially launched its business in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). This expansion aims to enhance its services for asset managers and investors throughout the Middle East.

The firm combines regulatory oversight, institutional focus, and regional knowledge to effectively cater to its clients. Edwin Lawrence, the Founder of Nettlestone Capital Advisors, emphasized the importance of operating under the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) regulation, stating, “Operating under DFSA regulation from within the DIFC gives us a strong governance framework – while our on-the-ground knowledge enables us to build trusted, long-term relationships in a market that values commitment and cultural fluency.”

Nettlestone Capital Advisors utilizes a proprietary database that includes more than 400 institutional investors and Family Offices across six Gulf markets. This resource allows the firm to provide a targeted distribution approach, drawing on nearly two decades of local experience.
