The world’s leading equities and financial markets might have fallen sharply in 2022, and the outlook for 2023 might still be rather uncertain, but the market for alternative residence and citizenship around the world just keep steaming ahead. Why? While the worst of the pandemic seems in the past, memories of the business, investment, financial, personal, travel and other turmoil are not so distant. Accordingly, wealthy private investors the world over have made their personal, family and estate planning far more of a priority than ever before, and one key issue many wish to address is having greater optionality and greater diversification for themselves, their family members, their businesses and their investors than ever before.

In short, the global business of investment migration has been thriving, seemingly turbo-charged by the array of uncertainties in recent years.

To plot the coordinates of exactly where the global investment migration industry is right now, where it is heading, and what it all means to private clients in Asia and the Middle East looking overseas and to global HNWIs and UHNWIs looking at the Middle East and Asia, Hubbis will hold a Digital Dialogue event on April 27th that will uncover the key trends and identify the most compelling opportunities.

The overriding narrative is that demand for global residence and citizenship alternatives from the private clients in the Middle East and Asia has never been stronger, and demand for alternative residence and citizenship option in Asia from global clients remains remarkably robust, while there is also rising global demand for options in the UAE, especially Dubai. In short, even more of the world’s wealthy see the value of these alternatives, and the investment migration industry is on a dramatic expansion trail.

There are nuances in the demand. Interest came historically from many emerging countries with weaker passports, but today demand from the wealthy in the US has been remarkably strong, with clients from the States sometimes even assembling a mini portfolio of residence and citizenship alternatives. The Middle East market is no longer just an exit launchpad – it has opened significantly for inward migration as liberalisation takes place there and as the economies diversify and expand, and some of the demand is already coming from Asia’s private clients, even some from Singapore and Hong Kong.

The Singapore market for inward migration of very wealthy clients, some establishing large single-family offices, is robust, even if the market there has narrowed somewhat to the uber-rich, given the sheer cost of property and everything else in the city-state. Hong Kong is a source of major outward demand, as more wealthy locals seek alternatives away from the umbrella of the vast and inscrutable China, and as people there still reel from the major restrictions on their liberties caused by the pandemic. Demand from the more emerging markets of Asia – the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Vietnam and so forth - continues to be strong, with clients eyeing an expanding world of opportunities in Europe, the Americas and the Caribbean, the Middle East and Australia/New Zealand.

The Hubbis Digital Dialogue event of April 27th will analyse these key trends in Asia and the Middle East – both for inward and outward-bound clients – and our hand-picked panel of experts will survey the more interesting existing and upcoming opportunities for alternative residence and citizenship by investment around the world.
