David Richardson

Having been in the industry for over 20 years, David Richardson has developed a full and detailed understanding of what clients are looking for - with the ability to build long term relationships by identifying their needs, goals and tolerance to risk and then providing bespoke advice and solutions accordingly.

“I started my career in financial services as a fully qualified Financial Consultant with Eagle Star in 1997 having studied Marketing at Manchester Metropolitan University. After 2 years with Eagle Star I joined Allied Dunbar and then Sanderson Financial with whom I’ve been a Financial Planner for the past 18 years, building my business on a high level of service and referrals in the Cotswolds and the City of London.

"Still working with Sanderson Financial in the UK, I was invited to move to Dubai and join Holborn Assets in 2013 and then Alpha Omega Partnership within Holborn Assets in 2014. This allows to me to provide comprehensive holistic advice and discretionary fund management for my clients, along with the high ethical standards and excellence in advice and service my clients deserve.”

Holborn Assets

Holborn Assets is the leading financial advisory group in the United Arab Emirates. We insist that our advisers are qualified and that they come to us with extensive experience and track records in the sector.

All our advisers come from the tough regulatory regime of the UK and similar jurisdictions; as such, they approach financial planning in a holistic and compliant manner. We are not sales driven. We are professional advisers adhering to the company’s mission which is to ensure that you get quality, independent advice and service, that your money is put in the right place at the right time and that you are treated with integrity and respect. Moreover, our unparalleled relationships with the best product providers help to assure that we make available superior investment and protection solutions for the increasingly sophisticated expatriate community we serve.

Our company has been established in the Emirates since 1998 and has grown dramatically in recent years. We have made significant investments in infrastructure to support this growth, to ensure we maintain our leading position and to meet the company’s vision of being the independent financial services group of choice in the UAE.
