Our presence in the Middle East
Over the last 30 years Dubai has become a major player as a financial city, hub for global businesses and home to international expatriates. With it's history of political and financial stability and its growing number of high net worth residents, Dubai is now a market that demands a choice of sophisticated and intelligent wealth planning solutions.
Swiss Life opened its insurance intermediation office in Dubai on 19 November 2008 as part of the global expansion of its life insurance solutions business. The office is housed within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) which is a world class international financial centre, built on the best practices of those found in London, New York and Hong Kong, and home to most of the major financial players in the region.
The requirement for estate planning, family protection and wealth solutions in the Middle East has provided the blueprint for the Swiss Life product offering in this region of significant financial growth.
The Swiss Life office in Dubai offers a product portfolio which comprises customised solutions for Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI), integrating wealth management with high-end life insurance in cooperation with leading private banks and independent asset managers.
Our client base in the region
The Middle East, and in particular the UAE, is home to a melting pot of nationalities and cultures. The market is extremely transient and clients require solutions that can be as internationally mobile as they are.
PPLI provides premium, tailored choices for all high net worth GCC, European and Non Resident Indian (NRI) clients looking for tax and estate planning benefits.
