M/HQ JOINS GLOBAL ELITE WITH WEALTHBRIEFING MENA AWARD

Winner of “Foundation Creation”

24 November 2025, Dubai, UAE: M/HQ, the UAE’s leading wealth optimization platform, has been selected as a winner in the category of “Foundation Creation” for the fourth consecutive year at The WealthBriefing MENA Awards 2025. Winners and highly commended companies were announced on 20 November 2025 at the Gala Ceremony at the Armani Hotel, Burj Khalifa, Dubai.

Showcasing the ‘best of breed’ across the MENA region, the awards are designed to recognise outstanding organisations—grouped by specialism and geography—that have demonstrated true innovation and excellence over the past year, as judged by a prestigious panel of independent experts. Each award category is highly competitive and evaluated through a rigorous, impartial process, which is what makes a WealthBriefing award especially coveted among industry leaders.

Commenting on the firm’s success, Yann Mrazek, Managing Partner of M/HQ said: “We are honoured to have won the award for “Foundation Creation” for the fourth consecutive year. It is a testament to M/HQ’s central role in the creation of Foundations as a wealth management tool in the UAE and our contribution to their evolution as a sophisticated structuring vehicle for asset protection, business continuity and legacy planning.

“As the UAE continues to solidify its status as a leading global wealth hub, we remain steadfast in our commitment to helping families structure and preserve their wealth with clarity, confidence and foresight.”

In today’s challenging environment, global participants understand the significance of such recognition. Winning a WealthBriefing award sends a powerful message to clients—offering reassurance in the strength, stability, and sustainability of the winner’s business and operating model. 

These awards form part of a global awards program run by WealthBriefing and its sister publications, WealthBriefingAsia and Family Wealth Report, covering all major wealth management centres worldwide.

Stephen Harris, CEO of Clearview Financial Media and publisher of WealthBriefing, was the first to congratulate this year’s winners and highly commended firms:

“Every category winner and highly commended firm has undergone a rigorous and independent judging process and should be rightly proud of their achievements this year. We’ve seen a significant increase in both the number of entrants and the level of interest across all our global awards programmes—and WealthBriefing is no exception.”

“These awards are immensely valuable as they offer organizations and individuals the opportunity to sharpen their strategic thinking, gain independent validation, be recognized both internally and externally, and celebrate their success in style with industry peers.”

“I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all winners and highly commended firms. They are all worthy recipients and now join an elite group of wealth management professionals who represent the very best of the industry across MENA and beyond.”
