Brevan Howard Asset Management has turned Abu Dhabi into its biggest risk-taking center, marking one of the most aggressive moves among firms that have set up in the city.
The macro-trading investment firm now runs about $10 billion from the emirate’s international financial free-zone, according to people with knowledge of the matter. That’s just under a third of its total assets and more than it manages from London or New York.
