Adviser progression

An LSEG Academy spokesperson confirmed to International Adviser that the partnership with Globaleye is not unique and it works with several other partners to provide courses.

The Academy was not able to provide the exact number of partners it works with, but said “it is something the academy has been doing for a while”.

Through the Globaleye partnership, training will be available in face-to-face and online formats.

A Globaleye spokesperson said the training will be available to both individuals look for a specific course or an organisation seeking tailored training for a group of employees.

Tim Searle, chairman of Globaleye, said he was excited about this collaboration with LSEG Academy and the benefits it will bring to the industry.

“In light of rising market demands for highly qualified, professional advisers, we view this initiative as crucial for the progression of financial advice and wealth management in the region,” Searle said.

Middle East and Asia

From its headquarters in Dubai, Globaleye runs a network of offices worldwide which include Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City in Asia. The wealth management firm’s current global managing director is Byron Murphy, who also heads up the Singapore office.

The partnership with LSEG follows Globaleye selling its Hong Kong operation to Holborn Assets in January.

At the time of the acquisition, Searle told International Adviser that Globaleye could be back in Hong Kong one day, but not in the near future.

“Should the Hong Kong business environment change then we would consider reviewing this market again, however, in light of the regulatory landscape and high costs, I doubt this will happen in the immediate future,” he added.
