SBJBC x Jersey Finance Roundtable, Michelin House, London, 1 July 2026
Executive Summary
The Saudi British Joint Business Council (SBJBC) and Jersey Finance held an invitation-only roundtable at Michelin House, London, on 1 July 2026, bringing together senior representatives from investment firms, holding companies, financial institutions, family offices and professional advisory firms. Around 20 organisations joined virtually from Saudi Arabia and elsewhere. The discussion was held under the Chatham House Rule, and contributions are therefore reported without attribution to individual participants or their organisations.
The discussion examined how investors and business leaders are approaching capital allocation, governance and long-term value creation amid shifting market conditions. Several themes recurred throughout the morning. Gulf families are increasingly diversifying both their assets and the structures that hold them. Family governance is becoming more professional as a new generation assumes defined responsibilities, while demand for Sharia-compliant structuring continues to grow.
Participants also returned repeatedly to the importance of jurisdictional certainty in wealth planning. On the UK side, discussion focused on political change and the 2025 reform of the non-domicile regime, which several attendees identified as the single greatest deterrent to Gulf capital’s presence in the UK. Stability, in the words of one participant, was the key word of the day.
