Sun Life, a global provider of high-net-worth insurance solutions, has received authorization from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) to establish operations in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). The office is scheduled to begin operations in December under the leadership of Senior Executive Officer Sameera Anand.
The DIFC office will allow Sun Life to deepen its engagement with local and regional brokers and provide direct access to the company’s insurance expertise for high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clients across the Middle East.
“We are pleased to join DIFC, enhancing our ability to support partners and clients in the region,” said Sujoy Ghosh, CEO of Sun Life High Net Worth. “Our global expertise and financial strength position us to help clients protect and grow wealth across generations.”
His Excellency Arif Amiri, Chief Executive Officer of the DIFC Authority, welcomed Sun Life’s arrival, noting that the Centre’s regulatory clarity, tax framework, and infrastructure make it an attractive base for expanding regional operations.
Sun Life operates underwriting centers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bermuda, providing global insurance solutions and round-the-clock support for clients worldwide.
