IHC, the global investment company focused on building dynamic value networks, on Friday announced the plan to launch Judan Financial Holding, a new international financial services holding company that will serve as the dedicated platform for IHC's rapidly expanding financial services portfolio.
Built as an AI-enabled platform and designed for scale, Judan Financial is positioned to become one of the region's leading and most diversified financial services investment powerhouses, targeting transformative growth over the next five years.
With an expected valuation of approximately AED100 billion ($27.2 billion), Judan Financial will bring together a globally diversified portfolio spanning banking, insurance, asset and wealth management, capital markets, non-bank financial services and financial technology. Subject to regulatory approvals where required, the platform is expected to oversee more than 20 operating assets across 13+ countries, serving over 11 million clients and managing total assets under management exceeding AED870 billion ($237 billion).
Judan Financial will be chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi serving as Vice Chairman, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. Under their leadership, Judan Financial will bring together a portfolio of established financial institutions and high-growth platforms across banking, insurance, asset and wealth management, non-bank financial services and financial technology.
Ownership and formation
Judan Financial will be jointly owned by IHC and its subsidiaries Alpha Dhabi Holding, 2PointZero Group and Sirius International Holding, reflecting the strategic alignment of the three groups in building a scaled and diversified financial services platform. Subject to regulatory approval, each shareholder will contribute strategic financial services assets into Judan Financial while supporting its long-term growth strategy, disciplined capital allocation framework and expansion across priority global markets.
Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan said: "Judan Financial has been established to create a globally relevant financial services institution, built on strong governance, long-term capital and differentiated platforms. By bringing together high-quality assets from IHC, Alpha Dhabi, 2PointZero Group and Sirius International Holding under a single structure, we are creating a foundation for sustained growth, innovation and long-term value creation across international markets."

By consolidating financial services assets from IHC, Alpha Dhabi and 2PointZero Group into a single dedicated structure, we are creating the foundations of a global financial services powerhouse, supported by strong governance, capital strength and the strategic flexibility to drive sustainable long-term value for shareholders and institutional partners."
Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi added: "Judan Financial is the natural next step in the evolution of IHC's financial services strategy. By consolidating high-quality banking, insurance, asset management, alternatives and fintech assets under a single, focused platform, we are creating a financial services group with the scale, governance and capital structure to deliver accelerated and sustained growth over the coming years."
