About us
Private advisory, reimagined.
A practice built for founders, families, and global citizens who need wealth, mobility, and protection coordinated as one — not three.

our approach
We started AG Mena because the clients who needed the most sophisticated advice were the ones being served the worst.
Not for lack of options — but because every option came fragmented. A formation agent here. A trust lawyer there. A CBI broker who had never spoken to either of them.
That is what AG Mena was built to be. A private advisory practice with the jurisdictional depth to handle complexity, the institutional relationships to move quickly, and the discipline to recommend only what a client's situation actually requires.
The model is simple. One advisor sees the full picture. Nothing handed off, nothing sold on commission, nothing recommended because it fits our template.
Most of our clients are not reacting to a crisis. They are getting ahead of one. That foresight is who the practice was built for, and how the work gets done.
Zain Dhareeja, Managing Partner
Our guiding values
01
Advice should be built around the client's goals — not the advisor's fee structure
02
The best structure is the one that fits your situation. Not the one that fits our template
03
We take on the complexity that most firms decline.
Three principles.
They decide which engagements we take, which structures we recommend, and what we will — and won't — build.
