Winner of Family Office Advisory Offering, Best Foundation Creation and Leading Individual

25 November 2024, Dubai, UAE. M/HQ, the UAE’s leading wealth optimization platform, has been selected as a winner in the categories of “Family Office Advisory Offering” and “Foundation Creation” (both for the third consecutive year) and “Leading Individual” (Yann Mrazek) for the third time at The WealthBriefing MENA Awards 2024. Winners and highly commended companies were announced on 21 November 2024 at the Gala Ceremony at The Kempinski Central Avenue, Dubai.

Showcasing ‘best of breed’ in the MENA region, the awards have been designed to recognise outstanding organisations grouped by specialism and geography which the prestigious panel of independent judges deemed to have ‘demonstrated innovation and excellence during the last year’. Each of these categories is highly contested and is subject to a rigorous process before the ultimate winner is selected by the judges. It is this process that makes WealthBriefing MENA awards so prized amongst winners.

The WealthBriefing MENA Awards are part of a global programme run by WealthBriefing and its sister publications WealthBriefingAsia and Family Wealth Report, encompassing all the world’s major wealth management centers.

Participants around the world recognise that winning awards is particularly important in these challenging times as it gives clients reassurance in the solidity and sustainability of the winner’s business and operating model.

Commenting on the firm’s triumph, Yann Mrazek, Managing Partner of M/HQ said:

“We are honoured to have won the awards for ‘Family Office Advisory’ and ‘Foundation Creation’ for the third year running, as well as ‘Leading Individual’ for the third time. These awards are a testament to M/HQ’s commitment to excellence in the private wealth management space and reflect the trust our clients place in us and in the UAE’s ecosystem to safeguard their legacies.

“With USD 1 trillion set to transition from gen-2 business families to millennials in the Middle East in the next decade, the significance of strategic intergenerational planning has surged, and M/HQ is proud to set the industry standard in addressing evolving client and industry needs.”

Stephen Harris, ClearView Financial Media’s CEO, and publisher of WealthBriefing, was first to extend his congratulations to all the winners: “Every category winner and highly commended firm has been subjected to rigorous and independent judging process and be rightly proud of the success they have achieved this year. I offer my congratulations and best wishes for the future to all winners and highly commended firms – they are all worthy recipients who join the elite list of wealth management professionals who form global elite of WealthBriefing MENA winners”.
