Spear’s Review

Mark Leale, senior executive officer and head of the Dubai office at Quilter Cheviot, says his firm is focused on providing a strong discretionary portfolio management service for clients, working with successful expats, international UHNWs and wealthy Emirati families.

With more than two decades of experience in the financial world, Leale relishes the client-centric aspects of his role, particularly nurturing relationships that he ‘hopes will endure for generations’. 

Leale was an early expat to Dubai, moving there over two decades ago. ‘It’s evolving very fast, not just in terms of population growth but also regulation,’ he says, adding that much is being done in the UAE to attract and retain businesses and talent.

Previously, Leale worked for Lloyds on Guernsey and the Isle of Man. Before moving to Quilter, he served as the regional manager for Nedbank Private Wealth.
