Wealth Management Secrets Every Oil & Gas Expat Must Know in 2025

We understand that Oil & Gas expats face unique financial challenges. Your career offers excellent earning potential, yet managing wealth across different countries requires careful planning and expert guidance. Many of our Oil & Gas clients tell us they worry about complex tax rules and investment restrictions affecting their financial goals.

Your financial success depends on having the right strategy for your specific situation. We help you address the key areas that matter most—from choosing suitable investment platforms to creating tax-efficient structures that work across borders. Whether you’re beginning your expat journey or looking to improve your existing portfolio, we offer clear, practical guidance based on years of experience serving Oil & Gas professionals.

Our role is to help you make informed decisions about your money while avoiding common pitfalls that can impact expat wealth. We pride ourselves on providing unbiased, independent advice that puts your needs first.

Your Financial Foundation: A Guide for Oil & Gas Expats

Let’s face it—working in Oil & Gas offers remarkable earning potential. Our Oil & Gas clients typically earn up to 400% more than their home-country peers. This creates an excellent starting point for building lasting wealth, particularly when paired with proper investment choices.

We help you select the right investment platforms for your needs. Here’s why many of our clients choose Moventum:

• Low equity trading fees (0.1% to 0.4%)
• Full range of investment options (stocks, ETFs, bonds)
• Easy multi-currency account management

The UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia present significant advantages for our Oil & Gas clients:

These tax-free environments offer excellent wealth-building opportunities. However, we understand that estate planning needs careful attention. For instance, your worldwide assets may face a 40% inheritance tax in the UK if your estate exceeds £1 million. We help structure your wealth through trusts and gifting arrangements, potentially reducing IHT liability from £270,000 on a £1 million estate.

For added protection, we often recommend the Isle of Man’s CIG platform. Its tax-neutral status provides extra security for your investments. Remember, you are entitled to ask any questions about these options—it is your money after all. We will help you align these choices with your long-term goals and create a financial plan that works for your specific situation.

Making the Most of Tax-Free Opportunities

We pride ourselves on helping Oil & Gas professionals understand the wealth-building advantages of Middle Eastern tax systems. The difference between tax jurisdictions directly affects how much of your money you keep.

It is important that you fully understand these tax benefits. Working in tax-free locations means keeping more of what you earn. We help you enhance these advantages through careful estate planning.

Protecting Your Wealth for the Future

Your wealth protection needs careful attention to currency management and investment platforms. We create personalised financial strategies that help you hold, trade and manage funds across different markets.

Here’s how our recommended platforms serve your needs:
