Dresdner Bank Switzerland has been in the Middle East for some time.
At a time when scores of fly-by-night companies make frequent visits to this region, which has, of late, become the target of many asset management companies and private banking entities, the goodwill and standing of the institution counts.

The Allianz Group has AA- S&P rating and is the second largest asset manager with more than $1.4 billion (Dh5.15 billion) in assets under management.
