ADGM Foundations: Built For
Control, Continuity, And Asset Protection
ADGM Foundations in the ADGM help you separate ownership from control, protect assets, and create long-term governance structures for families, founders, and investment groups. We help you set up and structure ADGM Foundations with a clear understanding of regulatory expectations,
governance design, and real-world use cases.
How KPI Approaches ADGM Foundations
How KPI Approaches ADGM Foundations
We don't just file paperwork. We focus on whether the structure will
hold up over time. Our goal is simple: a foundation that is defensible,
functional, and future-ready. We are deliberate about structure
naming, purpose alignment, and regulatory positioning - because how
a Foundation is framed matters as much as how it is formed.
KPI supports clients through:
- Serves as an ownership layer above operating companies or
SPVs - Separates legal ownership from economic benefit
- Establishes long-term governance independent of
shareholders - Provides stability across generations or changes in control
- Ring-fences assets from operational and commercial risk
- Holds shares, investments, or assets without shareholders
- Enables structured decision-making through councils or
guardians
- Founder wants ownership continuity beyond personal
involvement - Family succession planning without transferring shares
- Creating structures that outlive individual stakeholders
- Preventing fragmentation of ownership over time
- Isolating high-value assets from business liabilities
- Structuring ownership where traditional company
models are unsuitable - Need for oversight without day-to-day management
involvement
Formation & Governance Scope
We tailor everything to your situation - no unnecessary complexity, just what you actually need. The result? A foundation that meets regulatory standards and is practical to run and maintain. Our ADGM Foundation
support typically includes:
- Structuring and suitability assessment
- Drafting and coordination of constitutional documents

- Governance framework design
