FinanceMalta participates in Global Family Office Investment Summit in Dubai

A delegation from FinanceMalta, including Governor John Huber, recently participated in the two-day Global Family Office Investment Summit held last month at the Four Seasons Resort Jumeirah Beach, Dubai UAE.

The summit, which was organised by the Ritossa Family Office, brought together the world’s leading experts to identify actionable strategies for generating returns in a low-rate, high volatility market. Facilitated by family offices, the sum- mit provided two days of private peer-to-peer conversation, networking, and cross-border thought leadership, designed to make one think about what to look out for, how one should invest, and why?

Speaking about FinanceMalta’s participation in this event, chairman Kenneth Farrugia said: “Our participation in this summit forms part of our commitment to meet and exchange views on what Malta has to offer to affluent family offices and wealth managers. Furthermore, our involvement in events in the Middle East is in line with our drive to venture into new markets outside the European Union.”

This event was the fifth in the global series covering Dubai, Monaco, and Miami - and was the third event in Dubai. Over 200+ elite family offices, prominent conglomerate business owners, sheikhs, royal families, private investment companies, sovereign wealth funds, and industry professionals from across the Middle East and around the globe attended the forum, representing over $2 trillion in investor wealth which made it the world’s largest and most exclusive gathering of elite family of- fice decision makers.

The theme for this year was “East Meets West” as the summit acted as a bridge between Middle East families and their European, US, Asian and Latin American counterparts. The summit also provided an opportunity for the delegates to meet, network and exchange information and ideas.
