Dubai’s dynamic family office landscape, managing over $1 trillion in assets, has welcomed a transformative addition with the launch of the FO Club. Created by Dhabi Hold Co, the FO Club aims to consolidate and elevate the growing family office ecosystem, fostering a trusted and interconnected community in the region.

In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dubai has witnessed an unprecedented rise in family offices, underscoring the need for a structured and collaborative network. The FO Club bridges this gap by connecting leading single-family offices while maintaining a steadfast commitment to privacy, discretion, and impactful interactions.

Redefining the Family Office Ecosystem

Uniquely, the FO Club operates without membership fees or external sponsors. This self-sustaining initiative is funded by Family Office Summits, rejecting traditional fee-based models in favor of a long-term approach rooted in trust and collaboration. The club prioritizes curating meaningful connections among its members, ensuring impactful interactions and extraordinary opportunities.

Obediah Ayton, the visionary founder of Dhabi Co and Chairman of the Family Office Summit, emphasized the FO Club's ethos:
"Family offices are built on principles of long-term preservation and trust, and so is the FO Club. There’s no place for short-term membership models here. Instead, we focus on bringing the right people together to foster relationships that lead to remarkable results over time.”

Drawing inspiration from Warren Buffett’s philosophy of patience and sustainable growth, Ayton has meticulously built the FO Club as a platform for collaboration, innovation, and shared prosperity among family offices.

Exclusive and Confidential Community

The FO Club takes pride in its commitment to privacy, with no public disclosures of its members or attendees. Over the past five years, the club has cultivated a network of the region’s most prominent family office leaders and thinkers. Regular bi-monthly gatherings offer unparalleled opportunities for members to exchange insights, strengthen relationships, and explore potential collaborations.

A Prestigious Base at the Dubai World Trade Centre

Located at the Executive Centre in the Dubai World Trade Centre, the FO Club combines exclusivity with elegance. Its partnership with the venue ensures a tailored and professional experience, balancing the need for privacy with a sophisticated environment.

A New Era for Family Offices in Dubai

Since 2020, Dubai has experienced a significant rise in family offices, reflecting their growing importance in the region’s economic fabric. The FO Club recognizes the need for a dedicated and structured community, paving the way for innovation and growth in the family office sector.

The launch of the FO Club marks a new chapter in the evolution of family office networks, offering a modern, trust-driven platform for collaboration. By prioritizing privacy, trust, and long-term relationships, the FO Club is set to become a cornerstone of Dubai’s thriving family office ecosystem.
