The state of the private wealth management industry in the GCC will be debated in depth at the August 31 Hubbis Digital Dialogue event, with an erudite panel of experts who will review the evolution of the market there to date, offering their views on what both the authorities in the region and by the private sector must do to more fully help the industry attain more of its full potential.

Hubbis has assembled an outstanding panel of private bank and wealth management leaders to offer their insights on the evolution of the industry and of their businesses since the pandemic, and most importantly, to focus on the foreseeable future and to explain how they are positioning for success. We will again aim to structure this discussion into three elements – The Big Picture Today - Where are We Now?; Building the USP & Expanding Revenues; and Technology & Digitisation.

For wealth management to thrive in the Middle East, there is no doubt that the quality of advice on investments, wealth structuring, and estate planning must improve; hence there is a growing emphasis on both greater professionalism and the related expansion of the products and solutions the industry can offer in order to keep their private clients engaged.

The expanding family office proposition in the region is another interesting area for the market, as the private sector and the regulators strive to keep more of such UHNW clients at home in the region via SFOs, and also HNW clients via MFOs. Moreover, the region is hoping to draw more global money into the GCC market, especially perhaps Muslim clients from around the globe. But is the UAE yet offering a competitive service in the single-family office and the multi-family office segments, both of which are seeing a rapid expansion globally and especially in recent years in Asia? Can the GCC region compete with Singapore, Switzerland, London etc?

    The Middle East Wealth Management Markets - Meeting the Rising Tide of Demand and Opportunity

    • What are the major evolving market trends and strategic developments that the private wealth industry is witnessing and predicting for the future?
    • What are the new “must haves” in a bank’s products and services offerings? Or has there not been any need to really change the product and service mix in the last 12 months?
    • With the impact of the pandemic, have banks seen their UHNWI clients, some of whom are no doubt getting elderly, show more interest in succession planning?
    • Where are the key areas of focus for digital investment in tools and solutions, and why, and how much progress has the wealth industry made in its digital journey to date?
    • Is the wealth industry in the GCC managing to attract private clients from around the world, or are they still heading to the major European and Asian centres?
    • What are the vital elements of the regional wealth management proposition that need to be further developed and nurtured?
    • Who are the winners and losers in the current and anticipated environment? The global private banks, the international boutique private banks, the wealth arms of the regional Middle East banks, the IAMs/EAMs? And why?
    • What do Middle East clients expect of their providers in the region? More products? Better advice? DPM? Estate & Succession planning? In short, where is the need, the demand and the growth?
