Financial Planner Life Podcast Success as a Financial Planner in the Offshore Market – Chris Ball
This week we are joined by Chris Ball, Managing Partner at Hoxton Capital Management, based in the UAE.
Chris shares his career journey with us. He left school at 18 and despite success as a tax adviser, he dropped it all at age 24 to go and work in the UAE as a financial adviser. From humble beginnings (sleeping on a blow-up mattress!) Chris worked incredibly hard to rise through the ranks, eventually setting up his own business. His entrepreneurial journey has gone from kitchen start-up to 200+ staff. Join us for an inspirational chat and some home truths about the financial planning offshore market.
We cover:
- The expectations and realities of working in the UAE
- Work hard play hard. The social life in the UAE
- How Chris started his business
- The risks and rewards of working in the offshore market
- What could a new business developer or coordinator expect in their role
- Are there less clients to target in the offshore market?
- Tax and earning potential in the UAE
