Saxo Bank and Etihad Capital PJSC announced that they have
signed a Model Manager agreement at Etihad Capital’s office.
Under the agreement, retail clients in the United Arab
Emirates and the Gulf Cooperation Council will be able to access professionally
managed asset management products through Saxo Bank’s trading and investment
infrastructure.
Retail Clients Gain Professional Portfolio Access
Nicholas Wright, MENA Head of Institutional at Saxo Bank,
said the agreement “builds on that legacy” of partnership with Etihad Capital.
He added that “through the Model Manager structure, more retail investors
across the UAE and GCC will have access to diversified, professionally managed
portfolios in a digital-platform-first setup.”
The collaboration builds on eight years of work in digital
trading and investment services, aiming to bring institutional-grade investment
solutions to retail clients within a regulated, technology-driven framework.
Through the Model Manager initiative, Etihad Capital will
offer a range of model portfolios. These portfolios give retail investors
access to strategies usually reserved for high-net-worth or institutional
clients.
The partnership will expand professional asset management offerings on
Etihad’s platform, focusing on accessible entry points, risk-matched
portfolios, and global diversification, based on Etihad Capital’s investment
framework.
New Model Portfolios Launch Early 2026
Since 2017, the companies have worked together to provide
global market access, digital onboarding, and multi-asset trading for clients
in the UAE. The Model Manager initiative combines Saxo Bank’s digital
infrastructure with Etihad Capital’s investment expertise.
The new portfolios are expected to be available to retail
clients in early 2026 and will include thematic, fixed-income, and multi-asset
strategies.
Saxo Bank Reaches 1.5 Million Clients
Separately, Saxo
Bank now serves 1.5 million clients, following growth in client assets to DKK
800 billion in May last year. The bank reported a net profit of DKK 1,005
million for 2024, up from DKK 260 million in 2023.
Saxo is continuing to expand its professional and
international services, including digital
wealth management in France and industry
participation in the UK, while exploring AI integration to enhance its
trading and investment platforms.
