If you're an adviser with an established client base in the UK and dream of a new adventure in Dubai, our client can make that transition seamless.

What They Offer: Our client offers its advisers the unique opportunity to serve clients across all its offices, regardless of their current base. They provide financial advisers with the means to deliver private wealth services, covering: advice, portfolio management, tax planning, property finance and protection. Through their centralised proposition they offer a complete solution from licensing, compliance, product, processes and lead generation. Join their team and embark on a journey of professional growth and international success that offers:
  • Collaborative work environment – they encourage team members at all levels to challenge the status quo to help improve overall operation
  • A chance to build your own advice practice within their regulatory framework
  • A uniform advice proposition across all offices – they hold themselves to the highest standards regardless of jurisdiction
  • A strong pedigree – they are asset managers with a deep understanding of managing client money and a retail and institutional level
  • Complete support for advisers looking to leave the business in the near future – the firm has sufficient liquidity to acquire the books.
  • Private medical insurance is a core benefit regardless of the office in which you may be based.
  • They encourage remote working, developing other interests and even bringing them into the workplace.
  • They provide both retirement and savings plans to build for a secure financial future.
  • Many of the programs they provide ultimately end in a chartered status - be that fund management, compliance or investment operations or wealth management.
Please note: Applicants should have at least three (3) years’ client-facing experience in wealth management or life insurance advisory, with recognised investment qualifications (e.g. CISI, CII or equivalent). This is a performance-driven, client-facing role focused on relationship development and growth.
