Welcome to British Expats in the Gulf!

Unfortunately, we have all heard the horror stories about the miss-selling of savings plans and investments to expatriates in the Middle East - and it still happens on a daily basis with QROPS being the latest product to be miss-sold en-mass. Indeed, Investment Adviser magazine ran the headline that financial advisers in the region are at an 'evolutionary standstill' as recently as June 2010.

This website is designed to provide easy to understand, impartial and honest information on the financial products you may need as a British expatriate living in the Middle East. It is not designed to sell you products or to make recommendations - though we can put you in contact with a reputable financial brokerage, tax specialist or Will writer if required.

Instead the purpose of this site is to act as a reference tool, to ensure that what your financial adviser has told you is correct and that you are aware of all the facts before commiting to their recommendations. We hope this resource helps you and helps stop the miss-selling that happens on a daily basis thoughout the region. If so, please inform your friends and colleagues so they can benefit from this too.
