They can also access a graphical representation of their holdings' growth over time with the connected broker. Additionally, the app now features official integrations with leading brokerages and crypto platforms, including Binance and Kraken, enabling clients to securely and automatically link their accounts with stable and reliable connections. SnapTrade provides access to over 125 million accounts in a single integration.

This integration introduces new options for automatic connections, providing users with even greater clarity and control over their portfolios, ensuring they stay ahead in managing their wealth.'
In addition, improved account synchronisation automatically captures changes across investments, stocks and crypto on a daily basis.
Chris adds: 'Life is full of possibilities and with Multiple Scenarios you can plan proactively for new steps that you might have in mind. We want Hoxton Wealth users to be able to explore different financial paths and multiple scenarios side by side, to make more informed decisions.
'Our data indicates that a significant proportion of people using the app are checking it on a daily basis, so we take pride in its ability to provide its users with an up-to-date view of their investments and overall position.'

Mohammed bin Rashid honours winners of fourth Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Water Award

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, honoured the winners of the fourth Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Water Award. The ceremony, at Emirates Towers in Dubai, was attended by Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai. Overseen by the UAE Water Aid Foundation (Suqia UAE), the award is organised under the umbrella of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives. In the fourth event, 12 winners from eight countries were recognised, with total prize of $1 million. The award features four main categories: Innovative Projects, Innovative Research and Development, Innovative Individual, and Innovative Crisis Solutions. On this occasion, Sheikh Mohammed said the UAE remains committed to expanding its humanitarian impact and leveraging innovation to improve the quality of life for millions of people around the world. He said: 'Humanity today faces numerous challenges, and the scarcity of clean water is among the most pressing. We are committed to driving innovation to deliver sustainable solutions that advance the UAE's vision of harnessing technology to serve humanity and extend support to communities suffering from water scarcity. 'We take pride in the contributions of our institutions in this vital field, and we will continue to support every project, idea or innovation that makes a real difference in people's lives. Our message is humanitarian, our tools are knowledge and innovation, and our goal is to ensure the UAE's support reaches those who need it most, wherever they are.' In his speech during the honouring ceremony, Saeed Al Tayer, chairman of the board of trustees of Suqia UAE, expressed his gratitude to Sheikh Mohammed for honouring the winners of the fourth awards and for his continued support for humanitarian and development efforts. Mr Al Tayer affirmed the award reflects Sheikh Mohammed's vision of fostering practical, forward-thinking solutions that address critical global needs. He said that it also highlights the UAE's and Dubai's unwavering commitment to contributing to global efforts to combat water scarcity, one of the most pressing challenges facing communities worldwide. According to UN reports, 2.2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. Unicef also highlights that more than 1,000 children under the age of five die each day from diseases linked to inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene. Many communities around the world continue to face severe shortages of clean water. 'As Suqia UAE marks its 10th anniversary, it has successfully implemented over 1,000 sustainable water projects in collaboration with Emirates Red Crescent and other partners, positively impacting the lives of around 15 million people across 37 countries," said Mr Al Tayer. "These efforts have demonstrated that innovative solutions are key to addressing the global water crisis. The Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Water Award - named after an inspirational leader and beacon of hope - serves as a global platform that reinforces the UAE's pioneering role in humanitarian work, grounded in the noble values instilled by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. "This legacy continues under the leadership of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who said that 'The UAE remains dedicated to supporting hope and inspiring initiatives, serving as a champion of optimism in the Arab world',' said Al Tayer. "Guided by the vision and directives of Sheikh Mohammed, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Water Award has become a focal point for companies, research centres, institutions, and innovators around the world, given its significant humanitarian and developmental impact. The award encourages individuals and research institutions to develop innovative, sustainable solutions for the production, desalination, and purification of water using clean energy sources. "In its first three awards, a total of 31 winners from 22 countries were recognised. The fourth event attracted applications from 46 countries. Today, Sheikh Mohammed honoured 12 winners from eight countries for presenting pioneering innovations that help address the challenge of water scarcity and provide safe drinking water to the most vulnerable communities,' said Al Tayer. Fourth event winners Innovative Projects Award – Large Projects: Green Waste Solutions Trading DMCC from the UAE secured first place for its LANDCO Tech project, which converts organic waste and wastewater into renewable energy, clean drinking water, and bio-fertilisers. The system employs COMBO containers and LANDCO modules powered by solar energy and biogas, integrating AI and blockchain technologies. It has a treatment capacity of 100m³ per day. Second place was awarded to the Sustainability Investment Promotion and Development Joint Stock Company (SIPCO) from Vietnam for its initiative to provide safe drinking water to vulnerable schools and communities. The project uses ceramic impregnated nano-silver pot filters (CSPF) to effectively remove bacteria, viruses, and sediments, benefiting millions globally in a cost-efficient manner.

How $35bn Al Maktoum International Airport expansion is driving major Dubai South real estate investment boom as property prices tipped to grow 20%

The AED128bn ($35bn) expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai South is fuelling a real estate boom that has major implications for the wider UAE economy, according to Betterhomes analysis. Property transactions in the area exceeded AED15bn ($4.1bn) in the first five months of 2025 and prices could increase by up to 20 per cent in the near term said analysts. Spanning 70 sq km, the new Al Maktoum Airport will feature five runways and 400 aircraft gates and is expected to accommodate more than 260m passengers annually upon completion. Al Maktoum International Airport drives Dubai South real estate growth More than just an enhancement to the aviation sector, however, the project is poised to drive growth across real estate, hospitality, and the broader economy. Investor interest in Dubai South is accelerating, driven by competitive pricing, strong rental yields, and ongoing infrastructure development, said Betterhomes. Louis Harding, CEO of Betterhomes, said: 'The development of Al Maktoum Airport is not just a milestone in aviation, but a catalyst for the next chapter of Dubai's real estate growth. We're already seeing the ripple effects in Dubai South. This is the early stage of a long-term growth cycle.' Rental rates have risen 20 per cent year-to-date, with a sharp increase in both off-plan and ready property sales. Betterhomes has also recorded more than 20 per cent monthly growth in buyer and tenant inquiries, while institutional capital is entering the market, most notably a $1bn investment partnership between a major Abu Dhabi-based asset manager and Brookfield. Property prices in Dubai South are forecast to rise by 15–20 per cent in the near term. Infrastructure enhancements, including the Dubai Metro Blue Line and Etihad Rail, will further strengthen demand, and a recent AED1bn ($272m) contract award for the airport's second runway signals continued momentum. Average prices in surrounding areas remain up to 60 per cent lower than in prime districts like Downtown Dubai, offering attractive value. A similar growth pattern was seen following the launch of Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport in 2005, when surrounding areas such as Dubai Marina and Al Barsha experienced substantial appreciation. Between the launch and early 2008, average sale prices had nearly doubled. With demand surging and a long-term development pipeline in motion, the neighbourhood is emerging as one of the UAE's most promising real estate growth corridors. The $35bn terminal expansion is set to create employment and housing opportunities for over one million people, with far-reaching effects across multiple sectors. As job creation increases, population growth is expected to follow, driving greater demand for housing and supporting broader economic development. Surrounding areas are already experiencing a rise in transactions, property prices, rental rates and yields. The aviation sector alone is projected to contribute over 30 per cent to the emirate's GDP by 2030.

Tesla Properties rises as one of Dubai's fastest-growing real estate firms

Tesla Properties, a relatively new entrant in Dubai's real estate market, has rapidly gained prominence by achieving nearly Dh1 billion in property sales since its inception in 2021. The company's swift ascent is attributed to a combination of customer-focused services, structured operations, and a full-service model that spans sales, rentals, interiors, and maintenance. Founded by Deepak Kumar and Satissh Balyan, and later joined by Pushpit Kohli as COO and principal partner, Tesla Properties is led by a trio that brings together deep expertise in sales, service, and operations. The firm's growth has been particularly notable over the past year, with a major uptick in transactions driven by internal restructuring and digital expansion. Amidst a highly competitive market, Tesla Properties has positioned itself as a solution-oriented agency offering a seamless experience across the property ownership lifecycle. Tesla's business strategy integrates technology with a service-centric model. By leveraging CRM systems and property platforms, the company has improved operational efficiency and client response times. While automation supports scale, the company continues to prioritise personalised service — a distinguishing factor in Dubai's fast-moving real estate landscape. In 2023, operational changes and enhanced backend systems enabled the company to streamline agent training, improve client servicing, and introduce measurable performance metrics. This resulted in doubled transaction volumes and a significantly stronger market presence. Tesla Properties' unique proposition lies in its consolidated service offering, providing clients with end-to-end solutions — from sales to post-transaction support. This integrated approach has helped the firm foster long-term client relationships and drive repeat business in a market known for its transactional pace. Culturally, Tesla Properties attributes much of its momentum to its internal values of transparency, accountability, and empowerment. With a team now exceeding 70 professionals, the firm continues to focus on workforce development and sustainable growth. Looking ahead, the company has set an ambitious target of Dh2 billion in property sales by the end of 2025. Plans are underway to expand its investment offerings and diversify its portfolio to cater to Dubai's evolving buyer landscape, which increasingly includes international investors and residents. "As founders, we've always believed that trust and consistency are more valuable than rapid wins. Our vision is not just to sell homes, but to build lasting value for clients at every stage of their property journey,' said Deepak Kumar, co-founder of Tesla Properties. As Dubai continues to attract global attention for its dynamic real estate sector, Tesla Properties is gearing up to deepen its market share through strategic alliances and a stronger digital footprint. The company aims not just to transact properties, but to offer a comprehensive, client-focused real estate experience.
