Since their introduction in the UAE in 2018, foundations have had a substantial impact on the structuring of domestic and regional assets.
In a series of podcasts, team M/HQ is discussing the multiple uses of foundations in practice from all angles.
In our fifty-first episode, Yann Mrazek, Managing Partner at M/HQ, takes stock of the first months of 2025, highlighting three key themes shaping the UAE fiduciary space: global macro trends, local shifts, and how families are responding.
