History
Holborn Assets was born in 1999 out of a management buyout from Finexco, owned by the global insurer Old Mutual International. It was the brainchild of its CEO Robert (Bob) Parker, a forty-year veteran in UK financial services, who was desirous of bringing integrity to the UAE expatriate financial services market. The UAE and Dubai in particular, was chosen as the location for the venture he had in mind: to cater to the financial and wealth management needs of the thousands of western expatriates, British in particular, working and living in the region.
With an initial staff of just three and a small office in the old section of Dubai, the company set out from day one as a family run business, to provide solid, client services to expats, endowing them with a sense of security during their peak money-making years in the Middle East.
