In a time of geopolitical uncertainty, this session will examine the trends affecting private clients — including high-net-worth individuals, global families, and, where applicable, their family offices — across selected jurisdictions: Israel, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore.
 

Objectives
Experts from these jurisdictions will:

  • Assess how private clients are responding to the current geopolitical landscape.
  • Discuss the policy approaches adopted by these jurisdictions in relation to immigration and emigration situations.
  • Consider the recognition and treatment of estate planning structures — such as trusts, foundations, and other vehicles — from both succession planning and tax perspectives.
