200 top executives take part in Dubai Forward

DUBAI, February 26, 2015

More than 200 private bankers, independent asset managers, family offices and corporate service providers took part in Dubai Forward, which was organised by the Swiss group Academy and Finance, in partnership with Mashreq Private Banking.

The participants were from Geneva, Zurich (Switzerland), Luxembourg, Monaco, Malta, Cyprus, Andorra, Slovakia, Panama and the Bahamas, said a statement.

The highlights of the conference included key laws that will be enacted in the near future, how Dubai is adapting to international changes and maintaining its place in the competition with other private banking centres, challenges with fiscal transparency, investors’ protection, and distribution of financial products and investment vehicles available for foreign institutional investors.

Given the high quality of the participants and speakers, Dubai Forward, provided international financial and banking professionals the opportunity to evaluate the prospects of starting operations in Dubai by connecting and networking with their local counterparts and more importantly gaining deeper insights through one-on-one understanding of the emirate’s regulatory framework and legal environment by interacting directly with the UAE, Dubai and DIFC authorities.

Pablo Victor Dana, managing partner of Heritage Wealth,  Dubai, said: “From a chairman's point of view, I saw over 200 professionals during the two day conference- listening, continuously taking notes, asking questions and completely subjugated by the high standards of the ‘spot-on’ presentations.

“The organisers worked diligently to gather such an incredible array of speakers which coincided with the exceptional offer by Academy and Finance. I spoke with various delegates and sponsors who were all delighted with the calibre of the participants they had met; some of whom were already eager about the next edition of Dubai Forward. Congratulations to Academy & Finance for this achievement!” - TradeArabia News Service
