Gresham House, a five-year-old UK asset manager with £2.3bn under management, has recruited a general counsel from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds.

Samee Khan joined the firm earlier this month, it said in a statement on April 30. He was at ADIA for five years until December, and established the legal and compliance function within the sovereign wealth fund’s private equity department.
