A Message from the President of the Board
“Winning is embedded in the culture of our organization – let it be on the track or behind the scenes, we always strive for the best outcome”.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Esteemed Colleagues and Valued Stakeholders,
As we gather here to reflect on the close of this first quarter of 2025, I want to begin by expressing my deepest gratitude to each of you – our board members, leadership team, dedicated employees, and trusted clients. This quarter has been filled with opportunities, challenges, and remarkable achievements, and it is your hard work, vision, and collaboration that has brought us to this moment of success.
I am proud to share that our financial performance this quarter has exceeded expectations. Despite ongoing economic uncertainties in global markets – that also presents itself with opportunities, we have demonstrated resilience and adaptability. Our advisory services have seen significant growth in both revenue and client acquisition. As they say, successful organizations are those who take advantage of the economic downturn to reposition themselves, and AIX is tapping on this opportunity to lead at the forefront of the financial landscape in the region and gain global traction through our proven and tested innovative financial solutions.
These results are not just numbers – they are a testament to the strength of the strategies we have implemented and the trust our clients placed in us throughout those years of positively impacting our clients’ lives and financial well-being. As a company dedicated to providing tailored financial solutions, we continue to prove that our expertise is unmatched in delivering value and driving results.
Key Achievements This Quarter
Beyond financial performance, this quarter has been marked by several milestones that deserve recognition, such as new client acquisitions including some high-profile partnerships that solidify our position as a leader in financial advisory services.
On the Innovative front, we successfully improved our existing product offering, which addresses emerging market trends and positions us at the forefront of innovation in the industry. This initiative reflects our commitment to staying ahead of the curve and anticipating client needs before they arise.
As for our manpower, our team has grown stronger than ever, with new talent joining us across various departments. Their fresh perspectives and expertise are already making an impact on our operations and client outcomes. Speaking of, none of these achievements would have been possible without the incredible people who make up this organization.
To our employees – your dedication, creativity, and relentless pursuit of excellence inspire me every day. You are the backbone of this company and your efforts continue to drive us forward.
To my fellow board members – thank you for your strategic guidance and leadership as we navigate complex decisions together. Your vision ensures that we stay aligned with our long-term goals while remaining agile in responding to short-term challenges.
Finally, I want to express my gratitude to our clients and stakeholders for their unwavering trust in us. Your confidence motivates us to strive harder every day to deliver exceptional service and results tailored to your needs.
While we celebrate our successes, it is equally important to acknowledge the challenges we faced this quarter – whether they were shifts in market dynamics or operational hurdles. These challenges have taught us valuable lessons about adaptability, foresight, and teamwork. They remind us that growth is not always linear but requires persistence and innovation at every step of the journey.
Now as we turn our focus to the next quarter, I am filled with optimism about what lies ahead for AIX Investment Group and its subdivisions:
Expanding Services: We will continue to broaden our advisory offerings to meet evolving client demands while maintaining the high standards that define us.
Enhancing Client Experience: Delivering exceptional value remains at the core of everything we do. We are committed to refining processes that enhance client satisfaction through personalized solutions and seamless communication channels.
Leveraging Technology: Our committed investments in technology such as AI, will enable us to streamline our products and operations, improve data-driven decision-making, and provide innovative tools for both clients and employees alike.
Sports activities and philanthropy: We are committed to fostering a vibrant culture that blends sportsmanship. Beyond the workplace, we extend our commitment to social responsibility through philanthropic contributions, supporting initiatives that leverage sports as a catalyst for positive change and global reach. This approach aligns with our belief in the power of sports to unite communities and drive social progress.
In closing, I want to emphasize that this quarter’s success is just one chapter in a much larger story – a story about growth, resilience, innovation, and collaboration. Together, we are building something extraordinary: a company that not only thrives financially but also makes a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve.
Thank you once again for your contributions this quarter, whether through hard work behind the scenes or strategic decisions at the forefront, and for your commitment to excellence in everything you do.
Let’s move forward into the next quarter with confidence, determination, and a shared vision for success.
Thank you.

Soar Without Limits
The global economy is increasingly shaped by escalating geoeconomic fragmentation. With global markets awaiting Trump 2.0, GCC countries stand to gain from the administration’s pro-investment policies, potentially accelerating the impressive economic growth the region has experienced over the past four years.
The IMF projects that GCC growth will remain steady at 3.2% in 2025, driven by fiscal prudence, tax reforms, AI innovation, and urban transformation.
The UAE is well-positioned to capitalize on this momentum. The country’s ongoing investments in economic diversification and a strategic policy mix are expected to fuel further growth. In 2024, it attracted $16 billion in greenfield foreign direct investments, with the financial, real estate, and manufacturing sectors leading the inflows.

Investing in the UAE is a Winning Strategy
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) continues to hold its position as a premier global investment hub, demonstrating remarkable growth in foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. Recent data and strategic initiatives highlight the nation’s commitment to fostering an attractive business environment for investors worldwide.
The UAE’s Ambitious FDI Targets
In a bold move to enhance its economic landscape, the UAE has unveiled a National Investment Strategy aiming to escalate annual FDI inflows to 240 billion dirhams (approximately $65.35 billion) by 2031. This target signifies a substantial increase from the investment recorded in 2024. The strategy focuses on key sectors including industry, logistics, financial services, renewable energy, and information technology, reflecting the nation’s vision to diversify its economy and reduce dependence on oil revenues.
Dubai’s Leadership in Greenfield FDI Projects
Dubai, the UAE’s commercial epicenter, has consistently demonstrated its ability to attract Greenfield FDI projects. For the fourth consecutive year, Dubai has been ranked as the world’s top destination for such investments. In 2024, the emirate attracted 1,117 Greenfield FDI projects valued at over AED 52.3 billion ($14.24 billion), marking a 33.2% increase from the previous year. This surge shows Dubai’s strong business infrastructure, investor-friendly regulations, and strategic initiatives such as the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which aspires to double the economy by 2033.
