She discusses ADGM's clientele, including some of the biggest sovereign wealth funds and fund managers in the world, and how its regulatory regime is calibrated for a highly sophisticated investor base. Gabrielle also talks about the virtual asset regulatory regime in place since 2018 and its importance for ADGM's funds.
