Outlining his vision for Insignia’s future, HH Sheikh Juma Bin Maktoum Juma Al Maktoum stated:
“My vision is to establish Insignia as a true regional leader in servicing the financial and lifestyle needs of ultra-high-net-worth individuals—not just in the UAE, but across the wider GCC region. Expanding market share, attracting new clientele, strengthening our regulatory framework, and, above all, earning trust in this part of the world will be the foundation of my efforts in the months and years ahead.”
He further highlighted Insignia’s unique positioning in the luxury sector:
“Insignia is not, and never will be, a mass-market product. It is a true boutique company where each client is valued and nurtured.

In all aspects, there is no competition; Insignia is the ultimate answer to luxury living, paired with the most sophisticated payment solutions under one powerful brand.”
