Family offices

Among the world's largest hubs for private wealth and family offices.

Among the world's largest hubs for private wealth and family offices.

Dubai is a preferred location for family offices looking to diversify their investment portfolios and expand into new geographies. Key attractors include the city’s diversified economy, flexible inheritance and succession laws, robust regulatory framework and easy access to global markets and capital. 

Some of the world’s top family offices are present in Dubai, along with leading financial institutions like private banks, hedge funds, and wealth and asset management firms. Favourable financial infrastructure, diversified investment opportunities and strong government support add further incentives to choose Dubai for private wealth management. 

Strong growth potential for global family offices

The UAE hosts over 75% of the region’s family offices, and more than half of those are in Dubai. From here, companies can tap into US$3 trillion (AED11 trillion) in private wealth within an hour's flight. This is why the world's high net worth individuals (HNWI) and ultra high net worth individuals (UHNWI) prefer to operate out of Dubai. 

Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) – MEASA’s leading finance epicentre – forms the core of this dynamic ecosystem. More than 300 wealth and asset management enterprises totalling US$450 billion (AED1.65 trillion) in private wealth have their offices in DIFC. 

In alignment with D33 goals, Dubai aims to be one of the world’s top four financial centres. To achieve this, the city has improved the ease of doing business for HNWI and UHNWI. In particular, the 2023 DIFC Family Arrangement Regulations ensure seamless support for the financial and investment needs of single and multi-family offices. 

Promoting investment and co-investment opportunities 

Dubai’s diversified economy opens up investment and co-investment opportunities across sectors like real estate, hospitality, technology and healthcare, as well as ESG-focused portfolios. The business ecosystem is also optimally suited for expansion and growth, offering extensive networking prospects for industry leaders to nurture deals, build strong partnerships and scale operations.

Family offices in Dubai can avail of a wide range of tailored services, including wealth management, tax planning, estate planning and legal counsel. The city also does not impose any inheritance, estate or wealth taxes, enabling wealth preservation to span generations.
