AFSA Notice No. AFSA-O-NB-2025-0001 from 18 September 2025 On striking Global ETF Umbrella OEIC Plc. off the Register
THE ASTANA FINANCIAL SERVICES AUTHORITY HEREBY GIVES NOTICE THAT:
Under section 167 (1) (a) of the AIFC Companies Regulations, the Registrar of Companies (the “Registrar”) intends to strike Global ETF Umbrella OEIC Plc. (BIN 250540900977) off the Register.
FACTS AND MATTERS RELIED UPON
The Registrar is of the opinion that Global ETF Umbrella OEIC Plc. is not conducting business or is not in operation in compliance with section 167 (1) (a) of the AIFC Companies Regulations.
This conclusion is supported by the absence of any business activity or operational presence within the AIFC.
No substantive steps have been taken by the company to commence or carry on business following registration, and there is no evidence to suggest that it is operational. These circumstances support the view that the company should be subject to administrative action under the relevant provisions.

AFSA Notice No. AFSA-O-EC-2025-0326 from 3 September 2025 on striking Alem Development Holding Ltd. Ltd.off the Register
THE ASTANA FINANCIAL SERVICES AUTHORITY HEREBY GIVES NOTICE THAT:
Under section 167 (1)(c) of the AIFC Companies Regulations, the Registrar of Companies (the “Registrar”) intends to strike Alem Development Holding Ltd. Ltd. (BIN 250740900598) off the Register.
FACTS AND MATTERS RELIED UPON
The Registrar is of the opinion that Alem Development Holding Ltd. Ltd. is not conducting business or is not in operation in compliance with section 167 (1)(c) of the AIFC Companies Regulations.
This conclusion is supported by the absence of any business activity or operational presence within the AIFC.
No substantive steps have been taken by the company to commence or carry on business following registration, and there is no evidence to suggest that it is operational. These circumstances support the view that the company should be subject to administrative action under the relevant provisions.
