The DIFC Family Wealth Centre, established in 2022, is a network of approved and accredited ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNWIs) and family businesses. The centre plays a pivotal role in supporting its members, guiding them on their journey to achieve multi-generational success, with support from their network of accredited service providers such as Equiom.

With family businesses contributing 40% to Dubai’s GDP and employing 70% of the private sector workforce, as reported by Forbes Magazine, the DFWC’s role has never been more crucial.

Renowned for our service standards and global expertise we offer localised support including trust services, foundations, Prescribed Companies, Private Trust Companies (PTCs), incorporation and entity maintenance, entity management, governance, risk & compliance advisory and solutions, and structuring.

Calling on the expertise and experience of Equiom’s global team, the DFWC has also selected Equiom to produce a four-part ‘Thought-Leadership’ Trust edition series.
