Today managing wealth involves more than simply protecting assets. It’s also about creating an estate. Families across the globe are seeking more than just advice on finances; they’re looking for structure, flexibility and a trusted partner that knows the intricacies of their lives. These days, they’re getting answers from Dubai’s DIFC.
Dubai International Financial Centre’s (DIFC) world-class regulatory structure and ingenuous legal frameworks make it a hot spot for business owners, entrepreneurs as well as international families who wish to take their wealth planning to the next level. And at the heart of it all are four powerful tools: the DIFC Foundation, Dubai Family Office, DIFC Prescribed Company, and Private Trust Companies.
We’ll go over the reasons why these solutions go beyond being financial structures. They’re a part of a bigger story.

DIFC Foundations provide a higher degree of control and customization than trusts with traditional structures.

What’s the most appealing part? It’s a quiet worker that provides solid legal protection in privacy, security, and peace of-mind for the future generations.
The Dubai Family Office: People-centered and not a portfolio-based.
Each family is distinct. Some families run enterprises that span generations. Others manage international assets, or prepare for the future generation of leaders. This is why the modern Dubai Family Office focuses less on a single-size-fits-all approach and more on personalization.
In Dubai particularly in the DIFC Family Offices are now becoming integrated platforms that go beyond the scope of investment management. Family offices are the central point for everything important to the long-term vision of your family such as tax planning and governance.

Utilizing prescribed companies in conjunction with foundations or trusts can be a powerful tool to help a family build wealth.
Private Trust Companies: Trust, But With Control
Families that have sensitive issues or complex needs could struggle to transfer control of their affairs an outside trustee. Private Trust Companies (PTCs), however are a great option.

This is a popular option for entrepreneurs and families that are involved in multi-jurisdictional investments. They wish to be more involved but without losing the legal and fiduciary standards.
If a PTC is set up within the DIFC legal framework it becomes a powerful instrument for both compliance and control.
