Sun Life, an international financial services company that offers a broad range of insurance, wealth, and asset management solutions, has received authorisation from the Dubai Financial Services Authority to establish an office in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
Sun Life’s new presence in DIFC, a leading global financial centre in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia region, is set to enhance its collaboration with local and regional brokers.
This move will provide them with direct access to Sun Life’s specialised expertise and solutions, enabling them to effectively address the distinct requirements of High Net Worth (HNW) and Ultra-HNW (UHNW) clients throughout the Middle East.
“We are delighted to have received approval to join DIFC,” said Sujoy Ghosh, CEO, Sun Life High Net Worth. “This expansion brings us closer to our partners in the region and reinforces Sun Life’s position as a global leader in HNW insurance. Our unparalleled expertise, financial strength, and comprehensive solutions make us the partner of choice for HNW and UHNW individuals seeking to protect and grow their wealth across generations.”
His Excellency Arif Amiri, Chief Executive Officer of DIFC Authority said: “We welcome Sun Life’s decision to operate from DIFC, underscoring our position as a global financial powerhouse.
“DIFC’s legal and regulatory clarity, tax efficiency and modern infrastructure give Sun Life confidence to grow their regional presence and access emerging markets from the Centre. Their global reach and strong financial strength rating will let the region’s HNW and UHNW clients secure and grow their wealth.”
Sun Life specializes in High Net Worth (HNW) insurance, providing global solutions designed to help clients build, protect, and preserve their wealth for future generations.
Key to this offering is access to expert underwriting centres in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bermuda, which collectively ensure 24-hour underwriting support worldwide.
