Joseph Mews Champions Wealth Empowerment Journey for UAE Women Investors
By: Velorine
In a bold move to bridge the wealth gap and empower underrepresented voices in investment, UK-based property investment firm Joseph Mews has launched a pioneering initiative designed to help UAE-based investors especially women build long-term, cross-generational wealth through UK real estate.
At the heart of this initiative lies a simple but powerful belief: wealth is not just about assets, it’s about access, education, and empowerment.
Property Investment: A Missed Opportunity for Women in the UAE
The launch event, titled “Empowered Women: Property and Prosperity – Strategies for Success and Beyond,” shed light on a striking investment paradox. Despite 100% of attendees agreeing that real estate is crucial for long-term financial security, a staggering 79% of women surveyed admitted they have not yet acted on property investment opportunities.
The reasons? 62.5% cited limited access to investment-focused platforms and mentorship, while 46% expressed confusion over basic investment concepts, such as the difference between income-generating and capital-growth properties.
These insights underscore a clear and urgent need for more inclusive education and hands-on advisory support tailored specifically to women in the UAE investment space.
Empowered Voices Leading the Conversation
The high-level panel featured a powerhouse lineup of female leaders across finance, banking, and real estate, including:
- Helen Morris, Wealth Manager at Farrington Asset
- Sophia Kazmi, Mortgage Advisor at Maidwell Group
- Naomi Wharam-Adatia, Private Banker at GSB
- Christiana Maxion, Founder of Maxion Matchmaking
- Hosted by Sally Lockwood, Journalist at State of the World Show and former Sky News correspondent
The panel dove deep into key themes like:
- Portfolio diversification strategies
- How to finance international property purchases
- Understanding rental yield vs. capital appreciation
- Leveraging UK real estate for legacy wealth
Why UK Property Appeals to UAE Investors
With over 83% of participants expressing interest in the UK market, the event confirmed the enduring appeal of British real estate for Middle Eastern investors. Joseph Mews has already delivered UK projects worth over £634 million, offering investors access to high-growth locations, secure legal frameworks, and transparent buying processes.
“The UK remains a highly attractive destination for international property buyers, offering long-term stability and wealth preservation two priorities for UAE-based investors,” says Johnny Conran, Managing Partner at Joseph Mews.
