SANDEEP GHOSH

Founder and CEO, UK Qualified Independent Financial Adviser, Tax and Pensions Specialist, and Author

BIOGRAPHY

Sandeep is also author of Waking Up to Wealth, Amazon Best Seller, No. 2 in Business and Finance, Kobo Reader Best Seller Number 1 in Business and Finance, iTunes, Google Play Store and through all major bookshops. It is the first publication of its kind by a financial services expert in the Middle East.

Today Sandeep works as a consultant with Holborn Assets, managing multi-asset portfolios worth USD40 million. He has clients across major multi-nationals including Emirates Airlines, ADNOC, Majid Al Futtaim, PWC, Deutsche Bank, Microsoft, BP and Freshfields. His clients are spread across Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, Middle East, Asia and Australia.

Preferring a holistic approach with all clients, whether middle or high net worth, Sandeep uses his experience and qualifications to address all key areas of financial planning, be they retirement or other major expense targets, estate planning, UK tax liability, pensions, insurance or general investments including financial portfolios and real estate.

He has a strong inclination towards rescuing malfunctioning portfolios through his knowledge of the various asset classes and how they work – an area he finds most rewarding, especially where the client has been poorly advised historically. Alongside a strong understanding of the traditional modes of
investment, whether mutual funds, bonds, or derivatives-based solutions, Sandeep has a keen eye on the new wave of options, brought on by the FinTech revolution. He has an in-depth knowledge of UK tax and pensions and has helped many clients through the complexities of both areas.

Based with his wife and daughter between Dubai and London, in his spare time, his great passion is studying all forms of music, writing, travelling and playing golf (only in cool cloudy weather). Most precious to Sandeep is to have the ability to spend quality time with his family and friends.

JOHNNY CONRAN

Partner, Head of Middle East and Africa, Joseph Mews

BIOGRAPHY

Previously having worked for some of the largest developers across Europe and the Middle East, Johnny is a founding team member of the Joseph Mews UAE office. He is a specialist advisor to expat clientele working in the Middle East and is a key figure behind Joseph Mew’s expansion into new African markets.

Today, in the early 21st century, we are witnessing a seismic revolution in the financial services industry, where the world’s population has unmasked the long-established control of money as dated, unfair, dictatorial and untrustworthy.
The mechanism of trade, transactions, borrowing and investing, and the way they are conducted, is mutating or being altogether usurped by seemingly fairer and transparent systems. Pioneering companies and individuals are sweeping through innovative alternatives to cash and traditional banking, reforming and radicalizing the way we manage our wealth, giving society control over its own fortunes.

With this new wave, we require new skills, including the ability to understand risk and the different asset classes. However, as we enter this era, we find a middle class that in their majority are debt-ridden and alarmingly short of their savings targets. Somehow, many of them project a sense of comfort, yet are locked in the manacles of a precariously flawed routine.

Sleeping through such crises and overlooking the newly paved routes to wealth will likely lead to financial devastation and defeat in the battle against time – racing to survive, but struggling to survive the race. The time has come to wake up to wealth.

“To learn about and keep up with the world of investment is nowadays becoming a prerequisite for life as we know it. Ignorance is no longer bliss – it is suicide!” “Recalibration of your attitude to any kind of borrowing will set a clear definition of what financial independence actually is.”

“If we’re to start making our financial plans today, to create and shape our dreams of the future, we can’t simply look behind assuming that the same methodologies will work.”
