Equiom Group named Trust Company of the Year – UAE at Citywealth IFC Awards 2026

Equiom Group has been awarded Trust Company of the Year – UAE at the Citywealth International Financial Centre (IFC) Awards 2026, recognising the firm’s strength in private wealth and family office services across the Middle East.

The award was presented at a ceremony at The Biltmore Mayfair in London, attended by leading international wealth practitioners and financial advisors.

The recognition highlights Equiom’s technical expertise, governance standards, and service quality delivered to clients across the UAE and the wider region. The firm has more than 45 years of experience in providing private wealth and family office solutions to international clients, families, entrepreneurs, and family offices with complex cross-border requirements.

Equiom delivers tailored structuring, fiduciary, and governance solutions focused on long-term wealth preservation and succession planning, particularly for clients with multi-jurisdictional interests.

The Group’s Middle East operations are supported by collaboration between regional specialists and its international offices across the UK and Crown Dependencies, Europe, and Asia, enabling clients to benefit from both local market insight and global structuring expertise.

Jonathan Wheeler, Head of Middle East at Equiom, said the award reflects both technical capability and long-standing client relationships across the region, noting the firm’s continued focus on trust and advisory partnerships.

Jon Jennings, Chief Executive Officer, described the recognition as an endorsement of Equiom’s regional commitment and service delivery standards, adding that the company’s global platform allows it to support a broad international client base with integrated expertise.

The UAE win follows a series of international recognitions for Equiom during 2025, with awards from Citywealth, Wealthbriefing, ePrivateclient, and Capital Finance International across multiple jurisdictions. The Group said it plans further expansion of its private wealth and family office offerings in the Middle East in 2026, in response to rising regional demand for sophisticated cross-border solutions.
