International Holding Company (IHC) has announced plans to launch Judan Financial Holding, a new international financial services holding company that will serve as a dedicated platform for its expanding financial services portfolio.
Judan Financial is expected to be valued at approximately AED100 billion and manage assets exceeding AED870 billion, serving more than 11 million clients across over 13 countries, subject to regulatory approvals. Therefore, the platform is positioned to become a large-scale, AI-enabled investment group targeting accelerated growth over the next five years.
Consolidated financial services platform
Judan Financial will be chaired by H.H. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of IHC. Meanwhile, Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, Minister of Investment, will serve as Vice Chairman, Managing Director, and Chief Executive Officer.
The company will be jointly owned by IHC and its subsidiaries Alpha Dhabi Holding, 2PointZero, and Sirius International Holding. As a result, strategic assets from across these entities are expected to be consolidated into a single structure, subject to regulatory approvals.
Upon completion, shareholders intend to transfer strategic stakes in more than 20 financial services companies and platforms into Judan Financial. Consequently, the new entity will hold a diversified portfolio spanning banking, asset and wealth management, insurance and reinsurance, non-bank financial institutions, and financial technology.
Phased asset transfers and growth focus
The transfer of assets will be completed in phases, subject to approvals in the relevant jurisdictions. Moreover, the platform is expected to generate multi-billion-dirham revenues and earnings from inception, supported by diversified global exposure.
H.H. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan said the structure is designed to create a globally relevant financial services institution built on strong governance and long-term capital. Syed Basar Shueb, CEO of IHC, added that the move marks a milestone in building scaled, sector-focused platforms. Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi said the consolidation of high-quality banking, insurance, and fintech assets will support sustained long-term growth.
Judan Financial also intends to attract institutional investors and strategic partners. Therefore, it will focus on disciplined capital allocation, risk management, and technology-enabled integration, while remaining privately held to retain long-term strategic flexibility.
