The UAE offers expats an unbeatable lifestyle with tax-free earnings, world-class amenities and lucrative investment opportunities. But as amazing as it all sounds, traversing the financial landscape successfully here can get tricky without the right support.
Whether you’re a young professional just starting out, a family putting down roots, or gearing up for retirement, having an expert on your side can make all the difference in securing the future you want.
We’ll help you create a strategy that maximises your earning potential during your time in the UAE. Whether you’re staying long-term, moving to another country, or planning to repatriate, a clear financial plan ensures you’re ready for whatever’s next.
Let us take the guesswork out of your finances, speak to a trusted expat financial adviser today.
Firstly, a financial adviser will understand your financial obligations. Many of our advisers live or have lived in the UAE or abroad, so they know your situation from first-hand expat experience. For example, just because the UAE doesn’t tax your income doesn’t mean other countries won’t. We help you understand your requirements when it comes to cross-border tax complexities, as well as how best to build savings and invest your hard-earned money.
The right investment strategy can help you make the most of your time in the UAE, whether it’s saving for retirement or growing your wealth. We create custom investment strategies for our clients, which take advantage of opportunities in the UAE and global markets. Whether you’re a first-time investor or have a seasoned portfolio, we’ll help you make smart, informed decisions.
Living in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region can bring many benefits, but many challenges too. Many institutions people take for granted in their home countries don’t work the same way in the UAE. For example, pensions, education, healthcare and insurance can often be difficult to source.
Whether you’re staying abroad long-term, moving on, or eventually repatriating, a clear financial plan ensures you’re prepared for what’s next.
In a 2024 survey of UAE nationals and expats, 63% of respondents said they’d be inclined to seek professional financial advice in order to reach their financial goals, according to National Bonds.
The thought of spending your entire life working, only to see a significant portion of your wealth go to taxes, can be frustrating. Fortunately, we can help to reduce or even eliminate this tax burden.
Retirement planning is about maintaining the lifestyle you’ve worked so hard to achieve, even when your salary stops. After all, it’s not what you save, it’s when you start saving that matters.
From updating your tax status to preparing for tax liabilities on existing investments, we can help prevent a large chunk of your wealth from falling into the hands of the tax man.
Mortgages can be complicated. But Skybound will search hundreds of options to find the most suitable mortgage for you and your individual needs. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving home or looking for a re-mortgage, we’ve got you covered.
When it comes to your pension, you have lots of options. From leaving your pension in the UK to transferring your UK pension into a QROPS — we can support you in making the right financial decisions for your future.
A bond is a vital part of any well-balanced portfolio and can provide a good source of income. Establishing a portfolio bond is a straightforward process, which Skybound Wealth can guide you through.
