Dubai-Based Index & Cie Marks 10 Years of Growth in Regional Wealth Management Sector
Dubai-based independent wealth and asset management firm Index & Cie is celebrating its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of progress and client-centric financial services in the region. Since its founding in 2015, the boutique firm has become a trusted name in personalized investment solutions, operating under the regulation of the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA).
Over the past decade, Index & Cie has established itself by offering tailored wealth management services to individual investors, family offices, and institutional clients. With an independent structure and proprietary research capabilities, the firm continues to prioritize customized strategies based on the unique goals and risk profiles of each client.
“Our structure empowers us to deliver customized and bespoke solutions tailored to the distinct needs and requirements of our clients,” said Michael Reza Pacha, wealth management expert and Founder of Index & Cie. “At Index & Cie, we are dedicated to delivering the utmost quality of investment services across the diverse Middle Eastern market.”
The anniversary comes at a time when the regional wealth management industry is seeing accelerated growth. According to Arabian Gulf Business Insight (AGBI), Abu Dhabi recorded a one-third increase in property transactions in Q1 2025, reflecting rising investor confidence and capital inflows into the UAE. This growth is part of a broader trend across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, where the wealth management sector is expanding in response to economic diversification efforts, increased foreign investment, and a rising population of high-net-worth individuals.
Both the UAE and Saudi Arabia are witnessing heightened demand for tailored asset management services. Family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and private investors are seeking specialized strategies aligned with their long-term objectives. Notably, the UAE’s wealth management market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 7% through 2028, providing significant opportunities for firms like Index & Cie.
“As we celebrate this important milestone, we are proud to be part of the UAE’s dynamic financial landscape,” Pacha added. “The region’s steady economic progress and investment opportunities provide an ideal environment for innovative asset management practices, and we look forward to continuing to serve our clients with the dedication and excellence they have come to expect.”
Looking ahead, Index & Cie aims to expand its regional footprint by enhancing its investment research capabilities and launching new portfolio strategies that reflect emerging market trends in the Middle East.
