A wealth of opportunity The rapid and spectacular growth of private wealth in the MENA region has been characterised by a correlated proliferation of private banks and wealth managers seeking to take advantage of the trend. This increasingly competitive marketplace is crowded with local, regional and international institutions, vying for the business and wallet share of local HNWIs. One of the greatest challenges facing any participant in this jostling financial souk can be simply standing out from the crowd – offering a service that is genuinely differentiated from that of competitors. Yet this market is not just growing but evolving. Increasingly, market segmentation is playing a critical role in determining strategy, with the mass affluent, HNWIs and ultra-HNWIs requiring bespoke offerings. Clients are becoming more sophisticated, displaying greater risk appetite and demanding better return on their investments. Islamic banking is becoming ever more important across the region. Private banks and wealth managers must offer these services and more in an ever shifting regulatory and legislative environment.    » Reserve your seat now » Download the brochure
