News Digest: The Globalisation of Asian and GCC UHNW Families and Wealth

May 22, 2025

On June 5, 2025, Hubbis will host a Digital Dialogue exploring the increasingly global outlook of ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families in Asia and the GCC.

Today’s UHNW clients operate on a global scale—managing cross-border investments, navigating multi-jurisdictional legal frameworks, and building institutional-grade family offices. As these families expand their wealth strategies across borders, they are reshaping the expectations and demands placed on wealth managers, private bankers, and family office advisors. Their priorities go beyond traditional investment returns to include long-term succession planning, family governance, and investment migration. These families are also aligning wealth strategies with global opportunities and emerging geopolitical trends.

Wealth managers must evolve to meet these needs by offering more sophisticated, holistic solutions, combining legal, financial, and strategic advice. The rising influence of next-generation family members adds a new dimension, with growing interest in sustainability, impact investing, and hands-on wealth engagement. Building lasting relationships with this younger cohort is crucial to long-term client retention.

As Asian and GCC wealth becomes more global, this session will help professionals understand how to stay relevant, add value, and future-proof their client relationships in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
