The partnership plugs into a trend of globally-mobile HNW individuals and their families seeking new options, including residence and citizenship in new jurisdictions.

Arton Capital, an investment migration consultancy, and Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty, a luxury real estate firm, have formed a strategic alliance aimed at high net worth clients.

Under the pact, Arton Capital will become Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty exclusive global advisory partner for citizenship and residency solutions. Sotheby’s will serve as Arton’s trusted real estate partner. 

The firms are taking advantage, as they see it, of a rise in the number of globally-mobile HNW individuals, who in some cases are moving to more stable, prosperous and less heavily taxed jurisdictions – such as the UAE, and others.

The partnership also extends to co-branded events, private roadshows, and exclusive experiences across both firms' global networks.

“This partnership represents the next evolution of global wealth planning – where mobility, security, and lifestyle are unified rather than treated separately,” Arton, founder and CEO, Arton Capital, said. “By connecting citizenship and residency with property ownership, we’re giving clients the tools to protect their wealth, expand their opportunities, and build lasting legacies across borders.”

George Azar, chairman and CEO, Sotheby’s International Realty (Dubai, UK, KSA and Abu Dhabi), said: “This collaboration reflects the way our clients live today – globally connected and focused on both value and legacy."
