Dubai isn’t just attracting capital anymore. It’s attracting the people who manage it.

Recent reports show that the number of hedge funds with a presence in DIFC has more than doubled in just two years, with many of the world’s leading investment firms expanding their operations in Dubai. As a result, competition for experienced portfolio managers and investment professionals is intensifying.

To us, this signals something much bigger.

As global investment managers, family offices and entrepreneurs establish a long-term presence in the UAE, the conversation is rapidly evolving beyond “How do we enter Dubai?”

Today, the more important question is:

“How do we build the right structure around our business and wealth?”

Whether it is a holding company, a trust, a foundation, an SPV, a family office or an international investment platform, the legal and governance framework is increasingly becoming a strategic advantage, not just an administrative necessity.

At TrustQore, we are seeing growing demand for sophisticated cross-border structures that combine operational flexibility, succession planning and long-term asset protection.

Led by Dr. Alexander Kern, our UAE team works alongside colleagues across Switzerland, Mauritius, the BVI, the UK and South Africa to help clients build structures that are designed not only for today’s opportunities, but for tomorrow’s growth.

Dubai’s success story is no longer only about attracting investment.

It’s about becoming one of the world’s leading centres for managing global wealth.
