LONDON & DUBAI — Vikash Gupta, the Co-founder and CEO of multi-family office VAR Capital, has been officially recognized in the prestigious Spear’s 500 Index as a Recommended Wealth Manager for Ultra-High-Net-Worth (UHNW) individuals.

The inclusion highlights Gupta’s distinct approach to wealth management in an increasingly crowded global market, solidifying his firm’s reputation among international billionaires and sophisticated family offices.

A Client-Centric Alternative to Traditional Banking

Speaking to Spear’s, Gupta emphasized that VAR Capital sets itself apart from major private banks through three core pillars: independence, transparent fees, and an unwavering focus on capital preservation.

Unlike the fragmented or siloed corporate structures characteristic of institutional Wall Street or European banking giants, Gupta maintains that his firm operates with zero conflicting interests.

“VAR is an integrated team with the client at the centre of all our services,” Gupta told Spear’s. “Fees are aligned to client successes and performance, not on how many products we can sell.”

Strategic Asset Management and Global Reach

Operating out of dual hubs in Mayfair, London, and Dubai, VAR Capital specializes in a wide array of bespoke advisory services, including:

• Intergenerational wealth transfer and planning
• Private equity investments
• Asset-backed lending solutions

To keep portfolio expense ratios exceptionally low for its elite clientele, the firm prioritizes direct, high-liquidity investments. Rather than relying on layered, high-fee third-party funds, Gupta’s strategy relies heavily on single-line equities, bonds, and ETFs. This lean investment structure ensures that UHNW clients retain a higher percentage of their returns while preserving capital across generations.

About the Spear’s 500 Ranking

The Spear’s 500 is widely considered the premier guide to the top private client advisers, wealth managers, and family office experts in the UK and internationally. Gupta’s official ranking as Recommended underscores a growing market trend: elite wealth creators are progressively moving away from traditional banks in favor of boutique, aligned multi-family offices that offer a “joined-up,” comprehensive approach to managing global wealth.
