Supporting the UAE government's ambition to foster a more competitive labour market, the Savings Scheme is part of a Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) initiative and has been approved by the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA).

The scheme is being launched under UAE Cabinet Resolution No. (96) of 2023 and Ministerial Resolution No.668 of 2023, which introduced an alternative voluntary savings scheme for private sector employers and employees in the UAE, including those incorporated within free zones.

FAB Asset Management has been selected as a strategic partner by the MOHRE and the SCA to deliver the government's new Savings Scheme.
