Gulf Analytica services in Dubai: Recent examples of our involvement in major industry events include panel member participation at the AIM Alternatives Summit Dubai in November 2018, where we discussed topics related to "Family Offices - Entering the Majlis." We delved into the position of families and their businesses in GCC society, family portfolios, diversification, risk reduction, investment processes, and Sharia-compliant investment strategies for family offices.
We also moderated a panel at the AIM Alternatives Summit Dubai, focusing on "Robo-advisory and Digital Wealth." The discussion covered new trends and technologies in digital wealth, the VC funding landscape in 2018, how established wealth managers respond to digital players, and the target market segments and expectations from robo-advisors.
