All day-to-day investment management, origination, and client-facing activity will be delegated under Mariia Capital Management Ltd. in Dubai, which serves as the active management entity of the Mariia Capital platform.
This approach combines institutional credibility in Cyprus with Dubai’s operational and tax efficiency, mirroring the structure used by many emerging market funds.
