Boston, February 20, 2020 – The banking market in the Middle East and North Africa is fragmented and crowded. The onshore wealth management industry’s product and service offerings are still nascent, though leading banks in the region have expended tremendous resources to establish and enhance their private banking and wealth management capabilities and to compete against the international firms that have cornered this market segment. Can private bank divisions of local retail and commercial banks profit from an impending wealth transfer and capture wallet share from soon-to-be-beneficiary investors?

This Impact Report explores the state of the Middle Eastern wealth management market in depth and uncovers the prospects and challenges associated with it. It is based on 15 primary interviews with wealth management practitioners and technology vendors in the U.K., Switzerland, Luxembourg, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai in December 2019 and January 2020, and it is supplemented by desk-based secondary research.

This 49-page Impact Report contains six figures and 13 tables. Clients of Aite Group’s Wealth Management service can download this report, the corresponding charts, and the Executive Impact Deck.
