Awards 2025

An award ceremony is organized once a year

For the Fund Finder Middle East Awards, we asked our panel of 24 GCC-based judges to select up to 3 funds in each of the 18 categories which they would be positively inclined to consider for their own portfolios with a 3-year time horizon.

Funds had to be available on the Allfunds platform with a minimum of USD 100K invested by GCC based clients.

Winners were announced at the Awards Ceremony held at the Ritz Carlton in Dubai.

THANK YOU TO THE JUDGES!
