Hedge & Sachs group, a leading asset management and financial advisory powerhouse, successfully hosted CONNECT 2.1, its first stakeholder engagement event following the recent milestone of obtaining its Securities & Commodities Authority (SCA) license. Held at the Johara Ballroom, Madinat Jumeirah, the full-day event brought together employees, clients, and key stakeholders to exchange ideas, discuss upcoming projects, expansion plans and outline the firm’s next chapter of growth and digital transformation.

The event formally marked the launch of SCA operations and introduced SPAR (Smart Portfolio for Accelerated Returns), Hedge & Sachs’ proprietary investment interface developed to support portfolio management and client engagement through a more transparent and technology-driven platform. The event opened with a keynote address highlighting the firm’s growth journey and expansion from the UAE to Luxembourg, the Cayman Islands, Kuwait, and India.

Speakers emphasized how regulatory oversight will enable the organization to broaden its capabilities while serving both individual and institutional clients more effectively.

During the event, the Hedge & Sachs team provided an overview of several key strategic initiatives, including ARMAS, the firm’s inaugural real-estate development in partnership with Zenith Developers, and ARMAS Prive, an exclusive residential apartment project. These initiatives were discussed in the context of the company’s broader strategic vision, illustrating its commitment to diversifying its business portfolio and exploring complementary sectors that support long-term growth and value creation.

Among the key highlights was the announcement of a partnership with Valura.ai, Hedge & Sachs’ knowledge partner, combining financial expertise with AI-driven intelligence.
