The Firm
Lime Tree Partners was founded on a simple conviction: that private wealth is best served by independent judgement, continuity of relationship, and absolute discretion.
We are a small, founder-led practice. Rather than acting for many, we work closely with a limited number of private clients, families and their advisers — bringing more than three decades of institutional and private-market experience to the questions that matter most to them.
Our work spans the United Kingdom, the GCC, continental Europe and the principal offshore jurisdictions. Where specialist or regulated services are required, we coordinate with established regulated firms, lawyers and tax advisers, so that each part of a client's affairs is handled by the right specialist under the right permissions.
Areas of Focus
Our involvement is advisory and consultative. We help clients think clearly, structure sensibly, and bring the right specialists to the table.
Independent, generalist counsel to private clients and families on the shape of their wealth, their priorities, and the decisions in front of them.
Practical guidance on trusts, foundations, holding companies and special-purpose vehicles across the UK, GCC, Europe and offshore centres — coordinated with qualified legal and tax advisers.
Support on transactions, financial analysis, documentation and the day-to-day complexities of holding and operating private assets across multiple jurisdictions.
A steady point of coordination for families and single-family offices — convening regulated managers, banks, lawyers and trustees around a single, considered view.
Approach
Privacy is the default. We work quietly, and relationships are rarely discussed beyond the room.
We are not tied to products or providers. Our only interest is the client's considered judgement.
We bring the right regulated specialists together rather than attempting to be all of them ourselves.
We think in decades, not quarters — the long view that lasting private wealth requires.
Founder
Founding Partner
Munir Hussain founded Lime Tree Partners following more than thirty years in institutional fund management and private wealth. His career began in London, including portfolio-monitoring work at a leading global investment bank, and has since spanned multi-asset portfolio construction, fixed income, derivatives and structured products.
Over three decades he has advised private clients and families on cross-border structures — trusts, foundations, companies and special-purpose vehicles — across the United Kingdom, the GCC, Europe and the principal offshore jurisdictions. He relocated from the United Kingdom to the United Arab Emirates in 2022.
