Eurazeo's Abu Dhabi move puts Gulf investors in closer reach
Eurazeo (ENXTPA:RF) has opened its first Middle East office in Abu Dhabi's ADGM, creating a new hub that brings the French investment group closer to Gulf institutional and sovereign investors.
The Abu Dhabi office arrives at a time when Eurazeo's 1 day share price return of 1.64% and 7 day gain of 2.32% contrast with a year to date share price decline of 12.10% and a 1 year total shareholder return fall of 19.43%. This hints that recent momentum is trying to turn after a tougher multi year stretch that includes a 5 year total shareholder return drop of 31.80%.
