We talked to three heads of some of the biggest financial adviser firms, namely Tim Searle of Globaleye, Sam Instone of AES International and Sean Kelleher, of Mondial.
We also canvassed one of the top lawyers in the region, Muneer Khan, partner and head of Middle East for Simmons & Simmons, and two big names from the international life companies based there, Friends Provident International’s Philip Cernik and Old Mutual International’s Brendan Dolan.
With predictions including a reduction in adviser numbers among those “hooked on the treadmill of commission”, our Vox Pop at last week’s International Adviser Future Advisory Forum in Dubai was a timely opportunity to canvass early reactions to game-changing regulations.
