Sir Christopher Hohn to Present at Abu Dhabi Finance Week November 27-30
ABU DHABI, Nov. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — TCI Fund Management Limited (“TCI”), a leading $60bn investment firm, today announced the opening of an Abu Dhabi office, establishing a strategic presence in the United Arab Emirates and EMEA. Bronwyn Owen, Global Head of Investor Relations and Director of TCI Fund Management (AD) Limited has relocated to Abu Dhabi from New York and will head up the new office.
The firm plans to leverage the Abu Dhabi office and in-person presence in building key regional relationships. A physical location in the region provides TCI access to valuable markets in terms of talent and capital as it continues to expand its capabilities and expertise. Further, the office provides TCI, a foothold in the region that can be leveraged to continue its efforts catalyzing climate action within the private finance sector.
“The Middle East is a vital market for the investment management industry, both from a talent and asset growth perspective, as well as a critical partner in global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and climate change,” said Sir Christopher Hohn, TCI Founder and Portfolio Manager. “We look forward to establishing our team there to reach a broader investor base and to expand my philanthropic activities. We are also excited to partner with the local community to help enhance opportunities for investment managers in the region and to further our ongoing efforts to reduce the impacts of the present climate crisis through pushing for climate action plans.”
H.E. Ahmed Jasim AL Zaabi, Chairman of ADGM said, “We are delighted to welcome TCI to ADGM. TCI’s new base underscores ADGM’s rise as an international financial hub and reinforces Abu Dhabi’s position as a prospering centre for the investment management industry and its leading role in the energy transition underpinned by the UAE’s strategic value to global finance and equally its unwavering commitment to climate action”.
In his personal capacity as Founder and Chair of the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), Sir Christopher also hopes that TCI’s presence in the region will enable him to raise the profile of the important work CIFF and other philanthropies are doing in the areas of climate action, health and nutrition, attracting much needed partnerships and co-funding from local organisations and individuals to tackle these global issues. CIFF is an independently endowed charity which is regulated under UK law and is wholly separate from TCI.
As part of TCI’s office opening, Sir Christopher Hohn will be speaking at the Abu Dhabi Finance Week leadership roundtable “Investing in the Transition Era” on November 27th, and at R.A.C.E. Sustainability Summit on the subject of growing Climate Finance on November 30th. Sir Christopher will headline the COP28 Business & Philanthropy Climate Forum on December 1st in a fireside chat on “Tackling Greenwashing and Greenhushing”.
TCI’s presence further solidifies the UAE’s growing importance in the investment management industry and aligns with recent trends as firms put boots on the ground in the Middle East.

Bybit Expands Global Reach, Receives Formal Consent for Full Authorization in Kazakhstan
![bybit-expands-global-reach,-receives-formal-consent-for-full-authorization-in-kazakhstan](https://thefintechbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/54692-bybit-expands-global-reach-receives-formal-consent-for-full-authorization-in-kazakhstan.jpg)
DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is excited to announce it’s among the first to be granted consent to a full authorization by the Astana Financial Service Authority (AFSA). This milestone brings Bybit closer to becoming a fully regulated Digital Asset Trading Facility (DATF).
As part of a rigorous process, Bybit Kazakhstan has passed a full AML check, business conduct audit, and detailed compliance inspections. This is part of Bybit’s focus on securing new user opportunities in Kazakhstan and the broader Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region.
“Kazakhstan has become a key player in the global crypto ecosystem, and we are thrilled to be expanding our services in such a dynamic market,” said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “We are committed to bringing our cutting-edge technology, security, and transparency to crypto traders in Kazakhstan, ensuring they can access the best possible tools and services to thrive in this fast-growing industry.”
Once the full license is in place, Bybit Kazakhstan will offer various digital assets related products and services. The expansion into Kazakhstan aligns with Bybit’s mission to provide reliable and transparent services, catering to the unique needs of crypto traders and investors in the region.
This development follows Bybit’s receipt of its initial operating and custody licenses from AFSA in June 2023, reinforcing its commitment to local regulatory requirements. Bybit’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its presence in Kazakhstan underscore its belief in responsible growth and ensuring a compliant and secure trading environment.
Kazakhstan has quickly emerged as a hub for crypto innovation, and Bybit is proud to play a leading role in fostering this development. For example, Bybit hosted a “Foundations of Blockchain, Web3 and Crypto Exchange Activities” course for Banks of Kazakhstan in 2024. This event was part of Bybit’s drive to make blockchain education more accessible in the CIS region.
By securing this full authorization, Bybit is poised to enhance crypto adoption, provide institutional-grade security, and offer advanced trading features to its growing regional user base.

Integrum ESG and CSRHub enable fund managers to monitor both long-term trends and short-term movements in ESG ratings for companies, across a 10-year time series
![integrum-esg-and-csrhub-enable-fund-managers-to-monitor-both-long-term-trends-and-short-term-movements-in-esg-ratings-for-companies,-across-a-10-year-time-series](https://thefintechbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/54686-integrum-esg-and-csrhub-enable-fund-managers-to-monitor-both-long-term-trends-and-short-term-movements-in-esg-ratings-for-companies-across-a-10-year-time-series.png)
LONDON, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Integrum ESG, the leading alternative ESG data provider, has today announced the launch of their Consensus ESG Ratings module.
Just as investors monitor movements in consensus earnings estimates or credit ratings, investors now are aware of the demand for the ability to monitor long-term trends and short-term movements in consensus ESG ratings.
This new feature enables Integrum ESG’s asset manager clients to now see the consensus ESG score for any company, either as an absolute rating or a relative percentile ranking, across a 10-year time series.
These scores will indicate to any investor what the capital markets have ‘priced in’ for a company’s ESG performance, allowing users to quickly understand the market’s view on a company and easily conduct relative ESG analysis on the positions they hold within their Portfolio.
This regularly updated data is provided by CSRHub, the world’s leading provider of consensus ESG ratings. CSRHub has spent years aggregating and normalising a vast range of licensed sources – from large ESG ratings firms such as MSCI, ISS, S&P Global, and Sustainalytics to specialists such as CDP and Better World Companies.
Shai Hill, Founder and CEO of Integrum ESG, commented: “Many investors have told us they want a sense of ‘what is priced in’ in terms of a company’s ESG performance, so they can compare this to what anyone ESG ratings firm is saying. CSRHub is the only firm to have credibly achieved this, thanks to a model refined over years and a vast data lake – so we are delighted to be partnering with them.”
Bahar Gidwani, Co-Founder of CSRHub, added: “Investors need to fine tune their ESG-related investment strategies to improve their returns and better match the preferences of their clients. Combining CSRHub’s expert outside-in, consensus view of ESG with Integrum ESG’s detailed real-time data stream provides a strong solution for these needs.”
About Integrum ESG
Integrum ESG is the leading alternative ESG data and ratings platform for investors, blending human analysis and award-winning artificial intelligence models to capture, verify and display granular and relevant ESG data for analysis and assessment. Their Platform allows clients to dissect ESG scores, real-time sentiment, and more with a variety of unique-to-market features, empowering industry professionals and investors and giving them complete oversight of ESG risk across their portfolio.
