The changing geography of global wealth management will take center stage at The Wealth Week Cyprus 2026 during the panel discussion: “Traditional vs Emerging Wealth Centers – Who is Gaining and Who is Losing?” The discussion will take place on 9 June 2026 as part of Day One of the International Wealth Conference at the Amathus Beach Hotel in Limassol.

As international private wealth continues to shift across jurisdictions, the conversation is becoming increasingly important for clients, entrepreneurs, advisors, family offices, and financial institutions worldwide. The panel will examine how traditional wealth centers are responding to growing competition from newer jurisdictions offering flexibility, regulatory clarity, international mobility, and access to emerging markets.

The speakers bring extensive practical experience in international tax, wealth planning, disputes, intelligence, succession structures, offshore assets, and family office advisory.

• Andrew Terry, Co-Founder and Director, Rocquaine Management Limited (UK), has nearly 40 years of experience in international corporate tax and wealth planning for HNW and UHNW families. 

• Elena Solovyova, Partner, Rocquaine Management Limited (UK), advises on international disputes, insolvency, fraud, tax, and asset-holding structures.

• Matthew Walker, Managing Director, Raedas (UAE), specializes in asset intelligence, evidence gathering, and cross-border disputes, including complex offshore asset tracing matters. 

• Stelle Kamitsi TEP, Founder, Raza Corporate Services (Cyprus), former STEP Cyprus Chairwoman and a recognized trust and corporate lawyer, will provide insights into Cyprus as an international wealth and structuring jurisdiction.

• Marc Buchmann, Partner, Fischer Ramp Buchmann AG (Switzerland), advises Swiss and international private clients on tax, succession, and cross-border structuring. 

• Miles Dean, Head of International Tax, Andersen UK (UK), works extensively with international tax, family offices, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals across jurisdictions, including Italy, Spain, and Portugal.

This will not be a simplistic discussion about “London versus Dubai” or “Switzerland versus Cyprus.” Instead, the discussion will explore the bigger structural changes influencing where international wealth and businesses are managed today - and why businesses, entrepreneurs, and international families are increasingly relocating, restructuring, and diversifying across jurisdictions.

Traditional wealth centers continue to benefit from strong reputations, established legal systems, institutional depth, and decades of international trust. At the same time, emerging and fast-growing jurisdictions are offering something increasingly valuable to international clients: flexibility, efficiency, regulatory clarity, access to new markets, and, in many cases, solutions that are more aligned with the evolving needs of modern international families and businesses.

For Cyprus, this discussion has relevance. The island is increasingly positioning itself as a

strategic meeting point for international capital, business activity, family structures, and global mobility.

• Why is private capital moving between jurisdictions faster than ever before?

• Whether emerging wealth centers can compete with established centers of trust?

• Which jurisdictions are benefiting from the new geography of wealth management, including examples from the UK, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, the UAE, and Cyprus?

The panel will also examine the growing role of geopolitics, succession planning, and regulatory pressure, tax reform, asset protection, and international mobility in shaping decision-making for high-net-worth families, entrepreneurs, and international businesses.

This discussion is expected to move beyond general commentary about “industry trends” and instead focus on the practical realities of how international clients make decisions today - where to establish structures, how to manage succession planning, how to respond to regulatory changes, and which jurisdictions are becoming more attractive in practice rather than in theory.

The Wealth Week Cyprus reflects the continuing evolution of the international wealth sector by combining discussions on wealth management with broader themes, including regulatory developments, real estate investment, cross-border advisory, global investment strategies, AI, digital wealth, digital assets, and emerging financial technologies.
