Our history
We started in 1998 with a single office in Dubai. Since then, Holborn Assets has grown into a leading global financial advisory firm. Explore the milestones that have shaped our journey.
1998
Holborn Assets was established by Robert Parker, our CEO and Chairman, working out of a single small office in Dubai.
2001
A joint venture with Gargash Insurance marked a pivotal moment for us in regional standing and led to our second expanded office.
2004
By the mid-2000s, Holborn had secured its own Insurance Authority licence and would go on to create Holborn Assets Insurance Brokers LLC.
2010
As Holborn continued to flourish, we needed room to grow. In 2010, we moved into a 13,600-square-foot TECOM office in the heart of Dubai’s business district.
2017
Holborn opened its first office in Asia, marking a new chapter with our expansion into Malaysia. This milestone also saw us surpass 100 wealth managers worldwide.
2018
2018 was a landmark year for Holborn Assets. We secured an FSB licence and opened our first office in South Africa, soon followed by a new branch in Cyprus. We further cemented our reach in Asia with the acquisition of Globaleyes Hong Kong.
2019
Two years after opening our first office in Asia, we continued to expand across the region, opening a new office in Vietnam.
2020
In 2020, we opened our first office in Spain and passed 200 wealth managers located across our global offices.
2021
Our European footprint expanded in 2021 with the opening of a new office in Portugal. It was also the year that we launched Holborn Pass, the investment arm of our business, offering citizenship and residency by investment.
2022
2022 was one of the most significant years of growth in Holborn’s history. With new licences, we opened offices in two key locations: Australia and Saudi Arabia. The opening of our office in Riyadh made Holborn the first Western financial planning firm to be granted a full regulatory licence from the KSA’s Ministry of Investment. To round out 2022, we expanded our African presence with the opening of a new office in Mauritius.
2023
With our global operations thriving, we strengthened our presence in the UAE. In 2023, Holborn secured a licence from the DIFC, allowing us to offer clients a broader range of services.
2024
Holborn Asia secured a licence from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) for the acquisition of two financial advisory firms in Hong Kong with regulatory approval to provide both investment advisory services and insurance brokerage services under one roof.
2025
At the start of 2025, we unveiled the Holborn App for Android and iOS, bringing our digital financial management solution to your fingertips.
