Five centres. Five different propositions. One increasingly competitive market.
Mauritius — The Connector
WATCH: Africa • Funds • Private Wealth • Fintech • Cross-border investment

Dubai — The Accelerator
WATCH: Wealth • Family Offices • Funds • Fintech • Regional Headquarters

Hong Kong — The Gateway
WATCH: China • Wealth • Asset Management • Capital Markets

WHAT WE'RE WATCHING: Cross-border wealth; Mainland connectivity; funds; digital assets; capital-market innovation.
Luxembourg — The Fund Centre
WATCH: UCITS • Alternative Funds • Institutional Capital • European Distribution
Luxembourg remains one of the world's leading investment-fund jurisdictions and an important European platform for global asset managers. Its strength lies in a mature fund ecosystem, regulatory expertise and international distribution infrastructure.
WHAT WE'RE WATCHING: Alternative investment funds; private assets; sustainable finance; digitalisation; EU regulatory developments.
Financial-centre dashboard: scale and positioning
Dubai: DIFC reported 10,018 active registered companies and 1,134 regulated financial-services firms in the first half of 2026, illustrating the speed at which its ecosystem is scaling.
Hong Kong: the 2025 asset and wealth-management market reached a record HKD 42.2 trillion in assets under management, reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as a gateway between Mainland China and global capital.
Luxembourg: regulated undertakings for collective investment held approximately EUR 6.731 trillion in net assets at June 2026, reflecting the depth of its fund-servicing, depositary, legal and distribution ecosystem.
Mauritius: the proposition is smaller in absolute scale but distinctive in its combination of Africa connectivity, bilingual professional capability, established fund and fiduciary structures, and a policy agenda covering private wealth, digital finance and regulatory resilience.
The competition has changed
The strongest financial centres increasingly compete across trust, talent, technology, regulation, connectivity, speed, substance and client experience. The opportunity for Mauritius is not to replicate another centre, but to sharpen what makes Mauritius distinctive.
