Julius Baer Elevates Dubai Presence Bolsters External Asset Management

Julius Baer (Middle East) Ltd. is expanding its presence in Dubai, UAE, with a dedicated desk aimed at serving External Asset Managers (EAMs) and independent financial advisors. Marc Haefeli, a seasoned professional with over two decades of experience in the financial services industry, will lead this development.

In addition to Marc Haefeli, Aakanksha Raizada, formerly of Credit Suisse Dubai, and Pebin Muriyamadom, formerly of LGT Dubai, have joined the team, reporting to Marc. This strategic move is driven by the growing wealth management landscape in the UAE, particularly in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).

Julius Baer aims to strengthen its position as the wealth manager of choice for EAMs in this dynamic market. With the UAE and the broader Middle East region being strategic growth markets, the company is well-positioned to cater to the needs of UHNIs and HNIs in a rapidly evolving financial landscape.

As Dubai continues to establish itself as a global hub, Julius Baer anticipates substantial growth in the coming years and is committed to offering value-added services to clients and partners in the region through its new local EAM desk.
