We are not (for the time being at least) looking for mortgage brokers, and would expect anyone to have at least the full Certificate in Financial Planning (or FPC) or equivalent.

Whilst regulator requiremebts are much lower than in the UK, my company works to standards higher than any other company in Dubai and do not want anyone who has either failed to deliver in the UK, or who is simply out to make a fast buck.

The financial services industry in Dubai still has a poor reputation, but we are working ethically to try and change that. Too many so-called advisers have poor knowledge, no qualifications and no concern for their clients' best interests. They are simply salesmen and that is not what we do.

If anyone genuinely fits this criteria, only then would I be interested in hearing from them. Thanks.
