London – Arini, a leading alternative credit manager with ~$11 billion in assets under management, announces the opening of a new office in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) following receipt of regulatory approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of ADGM, underscoring the firm's commitment towards becoming a global market player. 

The Abu Dhabi base of operations will be led and overseen by Jeysson Abergel, previously based in London.
