As per the CISI UAE Financial Rules and Regulations, firms involved in custody, clearing, and recording services must have a minimum paid-up capital of AED 100 million. This capital requirement ensures that firms in this category have sufficient financial resources to manage the risks associated with their operations, which include handling clients' assets, ensuring compliance with financial regulations, and absorbing potential operational or financial losses. The higher capital threshold also enhances the stability and credibility of such firms, making them more resilient to market fluctuations and operational challenges.
