Abu Dhabi’s Lunate is acquiring a minority stake in Brevan Howard Asset Management, a deal underscored by a significant $2 billion capital commitment from Lunate to a new, jointly managed investment platform. This partnership is a milestone for Brevan Howard, solidifying its rapid and strategic expansion into the emirate, which has become the firm's largest risk center in just one year. The transaction signals a powerful symbiosis: Brevan Howard gains substantial, long-term capital and a strong institutional partner in a key geographic region, while Lunate deepens Abu Dhabi's position as a global financial hub by anchoring a premier macro-trading firm.
