Introducing our first adviser in this new regular video series: Dubai based financial adviser Adrian Rowles
We’re kicking off our new adviser series with Adrian Rowles, a globally experienced adviser currently based in Dubai, with over 15 years working across Japan and international markets.
In this series, we sit down with advisers from around the world to understand their journey, how they think about markets, and what shapes their approach to clients. Adrian’s story is a unique one, starting out in the UK before being headhunted to Japan, where he spent the majority of his career building a client base and leading teams.
Now operating out of Dubai while continuing to manage clients in Japan, Adrian brings a cross-border perspective shaped by real market experience, institutional-level training, and years of working directly with investors.
In this Q&A, we talk through his journey into financial advice, how his investment philosophy has evolved, his views on regulation, markets, and even the role of AI in modern advisory.
