The migration of alternative fund management companies to the MEASA region has grown rapidly in recent years, with the Dubai International Financial Centre DIFC being one of the largest hubs to house those making the move to Dubai. This growth is driven by several factors including a strong local economy, long term residency schemes, a low tax environment,  and a stable common law legal and regulatory regime.

We are pleased to invite you to a roundtable discussion focused on the opportunities available to entities located in the DIFC, including:

  • Establishing an asset management entity in the DIFC. 
  • FAQ on setting up local fund structures in the DIFC. 
  • Starting a family office in the DIFC.     
  • An overview of the key UAE tax considerations for asset managers               
  • UAE tax trends and opportunities , including for UK non-dom’s.
  • Understanding the UAE golden visa scheme

  • Salmaan Jaffery, Chief Business Development Officer, DIFC
