Dubai-based Klay Group has announced the appointment of Srajan Gupta as the new Director of its Multi-Family Office division, a strategic move that underscores the firm’s commitment to expanding its presence in global wealth management and family office services. The appointment reflects Klay Group’s ambition to cater to the growing demand for personalized financial solutions among ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) in the Middle East and beyond.
With extensive experience in private banking, wealth management, and strategic advisory, Gupta is expected to lead the company’s expansion into new markets, develop customized investment frameworks, and strengthen relationships with affluent families seeking sophisticated asset management and succession planning solutions.
In a statement published by INTLBM, the company emphasized that Gupta’s appointment comes at a time when the demand for professionalized family office structures is rapidly increasing. This trend is driven by the region’s expanding pool of high-net-worth individuals and the growing complexity of global asset portfolios.
Gupta’s new role involves overseeing client engagement, investment strategy, and governance structures, while also collaborating closely with Klay Group’s investment and compliance teams to ensure that clients receive transparent, risk-adjusted returns. He is also tasked with integrating advanced digital tools into client service delivery, enhancing reporting capabilities, and ensuring seamless multi-jurisdictional asset management.
Commenting on his new position, Gupta said he aims to “drive a forward-thinking approach to family wealth management,” combining traditional investment principles with innovative digital solutions. His vision aligns with Klay Group’s broader mission to become a leading independent advisor and partner to global family offices seeking sustainable, long-term growth.
According to Wealth Briefing, the Middle East has seen a steady rise in family office establishments, with Dubai emerging as a regional hub due to its favorable regulatory environment, tax incentives, and access to global financial markets. This environment has encouraged firms like Klay Group to expand their capabilities in wealth advisory, estate planning, and philanthropy management.
Industry analysts note that the appointment also signals the firm’s confidence in bridging traditional wealth management practices with technology-driven insights. Many family offices are now adopting AI and data analytics to manage portfolios, assess risk exposure, and identify new investment opportunities, particularly in private equity and sustainable finance.
By bringing on a leader with Gupta’s background, Klay Group is positioning itself to navigate this digital transformation while maintaining the trust-based relationships that define private wealth management. The firm’s focus on transparency, governance, and client empowerment is likely to reinforce its reputation as a key player in the region’s evolving financial ecosystem.
As part of its broader strategy, Klay Group is also expected to explore partnerships with fintech firms and institutional investors to diversify its product offerings and strengthen its operational infrastructure. This aligns with global trends where family offices are increasingly behaving like institutional investors, seeking greater control, flexibility, and direct access to emerging opportunities.
The appointment of Gupta represents more than just a personnel change it signals a long-term vision to build a more resilient, innovation-driven family office structure capable of supporting the next generation of global wealth holders.
