GFH Partners, the DIFC-based asset management arm of GFH Financial Group, has made a strategic investment in Dubai's Manrre REIT. Manrre, established in 2018 by Palmon Group FZCO, specializes in institutional-grade logistics and industrial assets across the UAE and GCC. Its AED 500 million ($136.13 million) portfolio includes 26 high-quality properties, making it a key player in the region's real estate sector.

With approval from the Dubai Financial Services Authority, GFH Partners has assumed the role of Fund Manager, transitioning Manrre into a Shari’ah-compliant investment vehicle. This move aims to broaden its investor base and accelerate growth in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, regions with robust demand for logistics and industrial assets.
