Frequently discussed topics
Executive-level questions around the Nour platform.
Who is the platform designed for?
The platform is particularly suited to managers who want institutional-grade infrastructure without the cost, complexity and time associated with establishing and maintaining their own fully independent regulated entity from inception. Nour enables managers to focus on portfolio management, capital raising and investment strategy execution, while the platform provides the underlying regulatory, operational, governance and compliance framework.
What structures are supported?
Nour supports a range of institutional investment structures through its Incorporated Cell Company (ICC) platform architecture. Supported structures may include:
Each IC operates as a segregated legal structure within the wider Nour ICC platform, allowing managers to maintain ring-fenced assets, liabilities and investment operations.
How does the operating model work?
Nour operates a regulated platform model built around the Nour ICC structure and an ADGM licensed category 3C investment manager. Under the model:
This approach significantly reduces launch timelines, operational burden and regulatory complexity while providing institutional-grade infrastructure and governance.
How does Nour support governance?
Governance is a core component of the Nour platform operating model. Nour provides a structured governance framework that may include:
The platform is designed to align with institutional best practices and applicable ADGM regulatory requirements while supporting transparency, operational integrity and investor confidence.
What role does the platform play post-launch?
Following launch, Nour continues to provide ongoing licensed investment management, operational, regulatory and governance support throughout the lifecycle of the fund or IC. Post-launch support may include:
