The group plans to offer ‘local service, trusted advice and a truly international suite of services’ in UAE, which is said to houses nearly 200 billionaires and over a million HNW individuals.

McFaddens & Co CEO Max Eppel said that the firm will offer a multi-family office service ‘that truly understands the needs of the clients’ in the region.

Eppel said: “From our hub in the UAE, we have ambitious multi-phased plans to expand the reach and breadth of our offering across the Middle East and other fast-growing markets globally. We welcome our new team members and look forward to supporting our new clients in the region.”

McFaddens & Co’s UAE operation will be led by Nathan Tolman who joins the firm as director. He will help the company execute its strategy across the EMEA region and globally.
