Ahmad Anani, Head of Capital Markets and Regulation (Middle East), and Jihane Rizk, Legal Director (Corporate), have written for The Legal Industry Reviews: Qatar Edition exploring the four core private wealth structures available under the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) regime.
In their piece, Ahmad and Jihane explore the four core private wealth structures available under the QFC regime. They examine how trusts, holding companies, single family offices and family foundations can be utilised by internationally active families establishing structures in Qatar. While excluding fund structures as well as tax, operational and Sharia‑law analysis, the authors provide a clear overview of the purpose, features and flexibility of each vehicle.
The piece highlights how these structures can be used individually or layered together to deliver robust governance, asset protection and succession solutions tailored to the needs of modern family enterprises. Their analysis underscores the increasing sophistication of the QFC ecosystem and its growing appeal as a jurisdiction for families seeking long‑term, future‑proofed wealth planning frameworks.
