No better time than now Why families with a long horizon should be establishing a meaningful presence in the UAE right now

Grant Thornton UAE works directly with globally mobile families who have capital, operating businesses, and long horizons. This article is not a defense or an assessment of the UAE. It is an assessment of the risks and opportunities that exist within the UAE for families with serious capital. In this article, I will be clear about where risk exists. But I will also be clear about what the data shows, how future-focused families typically respond in periods of uncertainty, and why I believe that for families with a genuine long-term horizon, this is a compelling time to establish a meaningful presence in the UAE.
