About Me 

I’m Nemr Kanafani, a economist and financial advisor with over two decades of experience advising on economic strategy, financial markets, and long-term planning—both at the institutional and individual level.

My professional journey began in the world of macroeconomic analysis, where I studied the forces that shape economies, markets, and financial systems—both across the GCC and broader MENA region and at the international level. As Head of Research and Lead Economist at Kuwait’s leading bank, I analyzed regional economies, oil markets, public finances, and banking regulations, helping decision-makers navigate complexity with confidence.

Over the years, I have worked closely with investment advisors, private bankers, and wealth managers to design and implement strategies for clients with diverse needs—from high-net-worth individuals to young professionals starting their investment journey. This has given me a practical understanding of how the financial services industry operates from the inside: how products are structured, how advisory relationships work, and how to separate genuinely valuable solutions from those that simply look appealing. I draw on this experience to help clients navigate the range of options available to them, ensuring they receive clear, unbiased guidance that puts their long-term interests first.

I have also personally experienced the ups and downs of markets and economic cycles. I’ve lived through multiple market crises, navigated shifting economic conditions, and adapted to major changes in my own life. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the value of resilience, preparation, and flexibility in financial planning. The lessons I’ve learned along the way are lessons I now share with my clients, helping them make confident decisions in both good times and challenging ones.

Today, I bring that expertise, rigiour and clarity to personal financial planning. I help individuals and families—especially expatriates and professionals—build plans that align with their goals and values. Whether you’re planning for retirement, investing for growth, or preparing for life’s uncertainties, I provide straightforward, data-driven guidance tailored to your needs.

In a world full of noise, my goal is to offer something simple but rare: advice you can trust, grounded in real economic insight and delivered with care.
