With more than 1,250 entities and 600 specialised advisors operating within the centre, DIFC has built a comprehensive platform that supports wealth management, succession planning, and long-term family governance.
At the heart of DIFC’s success is its robust legal and regulatory framework, which is aligned with international best practices while tailored to the unique needs of global families. The centre offers specialised structures such as family offices, foundations, trusts, and wealth management entities, enabling families to manage, protect, and grow their assets across generations. These frameworks provide clarity, security, and flexibility, making DIFC an attractive base for both regional and international families.
DIFC’s expanding community of advisors plays a vital role in strengthening family support. The presence of over 600 advisors—including legal experts, tax specialists, investment professionals, and governance consultants—ensures that families have access to holistic and customised advice. This integrated advisory environment allows families to address complex financial, legal, and operational needs under one roof.
The centre also actively promotes knowledge sharing and capacity building through dedicated forums, workshops, and thought leadership initiatives focused on family businesses and wealth planning. These platforms encourage best practices in governance, succession, philanthropy, and sustainable investing, helping families navigate generational transitions and evolving global challenges.
Beyond financial services, DIFC’s appeal lies in its world-class infrastructure, connectivity, and lifestyle offerings. Located in the heart of Dubai, the centre provides access to global markets, a stable economic environment, and a high quality of life. This combination supports long-term residency and engagement for families seeking a secure and future-ready wealth management base.
