Alireza Valizadeh, CEO, Julius Baer (Middle East), added: “The UAE is a strategic growth market for Julius Baer along with the wider Middle East region. The wealth management industry in the UAE is thriving given the influx of UHNIs and HNIs and we believe this influx will continue as Dubai continues to position itself as one of the fastest, safest, and most connected cities in the world. Julius Baer is one of the largest and oldest wealth managers in the DIFC working closely with our clients and families on their wealth journeys. The setting up of a local EAM desk will help us capitalise on our strong positioning and complement our existing footprint by providing value added services to all our clients and partners in the region.”
