Hedge & Sachs has received a Category 5 license from the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), allowing the firm to expand its regulated financial advisory services across the country.
The new license permits Hedge & Sachs to offer advisory services to individuals, institutional investors, and family offices in the UAE. The approval comes as part of the company’s push to align with national financial regulations and enhance investor protection.
“Receiving the SCA Category 5 license is both a recognition and a responsibility,” said Shivansh Rachit, Founder, Group President & Executive Chairman at Hedge & Sachs. “Our journey has always been about putting investors first — ensuring they have a partner who operates with integrity, foresight, and accountability. This license is a testament to our long-term commitment to secure and sustainable value creation.”
Growth through regulation
Founded with a focus on disciplined financial strategy, Hedge & Sachs has grown into a firm with around 200 team members. It has built its operations on strong risk management and compliance frameworks, helping it navigate regional and global market changes.
The Category 5 license positions the firm to expand its services further, including the introduction of new investment products and technology-driven solutions for clients.
Focus on fintech integration
Looking ahead, the company plans to integrate financial technology into its advisory process to improve accuracy and client engagement. This includes exploring emerging asset classes and enhancing service delivery to meet evolving investor needs.
As the UAE strengthens its position as a regional financial centre, Hedge & Sachs aims to support long-term client goals while maintaining high regulatory standards.
