Arabian First Abu Dhabi Bank has secured 100% ownership of Bahrain-based Yasira Financial Services, expanding its fund administration and trust services offerings. The acquisition, announced on Monday, integrates Yasira into FAB's Securities Services division. Financial terms and integration timeline remain undisclosed. Yasira specializes in investment structures for listed assets, private equity, venture capital, and property, supporting funds across legal entities and jurisdictions.
FAB's existing custody services will complement Yasira's expertise in fund administration, cash management, and foreign exchange. The bank aims to provide a broader range of services to asset managers and institutional investors through a single provider. Yasira currently administers funds worth over $7 billion. The rebranding repositions Yasira under FAB's Securities Services division, with the bank prioritizing continuity for existing clients and investing in staff and capabilities.
The acquisition is part of FAB's MENASSA Securities Services, potentially reducing the number of providers fund managers need to coordinate.
