This strategic expansion strengthens Seviora’s international presence and reinforces its commitment to serving institutional investors in the region.
Strengthening Global Reach
Headquartered in Singapore, Seviora Group already operates in key Asian markets, including India, China, and Indonesia. The establishment of its Abu Dhabi office is a pivotal step in broadening its reach beyond Asia, enabling the firm to offer tailored investment solutions, co-investment opportunities, and strategic partnerships to a wide range of clients, including sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, global banks, and family offices.
Seviora’s investment capabilities span multiple asset classes, including private credit, private equity, liquid and semi-liquid strategies, traditional active investing, and liquidity management solutions. The firm employs over 210 investment professionals across five asset management companies (AMCs). 
Leadership and Strategic Vision
To spearhead its operations in the Middle East, Seviora has appointed Sadiq Hussain as the Senior Executive Officer for its Abu Dhabi office. With extensive experience in global asset management, investment banking, and capital markets, Hussain will lead the firm’s regional strategy, fostering institutional partnerships and driving investment initiatives.
