HUMAN CAPITAL AND THE JOURNEY TOWARDS EXCELLENCE

Mohammad Athar, Chief Executive Officer, Mabledon Capital Ltd, talks to WealthBriefing about why it has met high standards.

How do awards such as this make a difference to your firm and your colleagues?

This award reaffirms our faith and commitment in the journey towards customer excellence. It proves our resilience, our business savviness, long term vision for MCL and the role we want to play in the market. Our team is now well geared to face newer challenges and a larger market share for ourselves. We will continue to build on our strengths whilst working on identified areas of weakness.

This award will remain a testimonial of customers trust in us as their advisor and for all our banking and channel partners as a true companion. Needless to mention that this award ultimately is reflection of all the work the MCL team members have put in and we truly and dearly remain indebted to each of them.

What have been the main obstacles you had to overcome and how did you do so to reach this level?

Private banking business is a challenging business with constant evolvement of products offering. We have taken conscious efforts to keep the team updated with new market and product nuances so that they are better equipped to provide adequate investments solutioning to our customers on one hand whilst maintaining the same standard in managing our custodial partners and coming up with newer product ideas and offerings thus giving better service and delivery in all aspects from any of the private banks. Whom do you look to in terms or ideas and inspiration? What other business sectors do you follow for ideas?

We look to seek inspiration from every successful business entity in DIFC, our customers, our employees and even our competitors whether big or small. This philosophy helps us to understand each and everybody’s unique positioning with clients, their strengths, and areas of improvement etc. This helps us map ourselves on those measures and strive to aim for better. Our vision is to establish ourselves as an investment bank where we can cater to larger needs of our customers with renewed focus on client wealth maximization goals and adoption of newer and vibrant product offerings.

What are the main contributions do you think you bring to the wealth management industry?

Beyond the investment assets we manage effectively for our customer, we take pride in human capital, which is pivotal in managing our customers. Each individual working with MCL is clearly geared towards “customer needs”.

There is almost a perfect harmony when it comes to delivery of services for our customers either it be the relationship manager, the advisory team, the trading team or for that matter even the operations and support staff. This clear line of sight which converges and binds us together as one small yet effectively MCL family is our biggest asset class which we all collectively manage. Mohammad Athar
