Spear’s brought together leading figures from the private client, private wealth and family office space for an exclusive event at Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2024.
The Spear’s Summit, presented in association with ADGM, was joined by 50 respected advisers to clients with assets exceeding $100 million, from wealth management and private banking to philanthropy, law, property and beyond, with focus or interest in the Middle East region.
Taking place over one afternoon of the annual event, the day’s agenda revolved around four intimate, off-the-record roundtable discussions.
Attendees were invited to listen to engaging, informative insights from a number of hand-picked participants, and they were given the opportunity to share impromptu contributions. They also had a chance to engage in informal networking before, between and after the sessions.
This event, which took place at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) – an award-winning international financial centre located on Al Maryah Island in the heart of the UAE’s capital city, Abu Dhabi – welcomed partners and C-suite-level figures from Switzerland, New York, London and more.
The invited group represent some of the biggest names in the private wealth and private client space, including Julius Baer, Knight Frank, Sotheby’s, Harbottle & Lewis, Bank of Singapore, Stephenson Harwood, Borkowski, Apeiron Investment Office, First Abu Dhabi Bank and Abu Dhabi Residents’ Office.
The summit was an opportunity to share insight, strengthen networks and hone understanding of the forces that shape the lives of ultra-high-net-worth clients.
