Colliers UAE is increasingly involved with Real Estate Investment Funds and cross regional investment services as well as advising local investors on international investment opportunities through co-operation with other Colliers global offices.

In the UAE, the firm was instrumental - in conjunction with The National Investor (a UAE investment banking Group) - in launching ‘The Emirates Real Estate Fund’ - the first ever Central Bank approved real estate fund in the UAE which seeks in to invest in a broad range of real estate classes in this rapidly growing region.

In June 2003, Colliers also signed a strategic advisory and asset management contract with a GCC based Islamic Bank for the creation of a GBP 100 million UK property fund which will be Islamic compliant. The contract was signed with Colliers CRE in London following a business referral from Colliers UAE who initially worked with the client at the local level to develop the UK fund concept.
