Investment migration firm representative honoured

Investment migration is gradually gaining traction in Ghana’s financial landscape, as the country’s representative for Henley & Partners, a global firm specialising in residence and citizenship by investment, Grace Arthur, was honoured at the 9th Ghana CEO Summit in Accra for her pioneering role in the emerging field.

Mrs Arthur received the Leadership Excellence Award in Wealth Management (Multinational) for her contributions to Ghana’s high-net-worth advisory space, particularly in introducing investment migration solutions—an area still unfamiliar to many in the local market.

With over two decades of experience spanning banking, insurance, and wealth advisory, Mrs Arthur currently leads the Ghana office of Henley & Partners, where she provides strategic guidance to high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs and UHNWIs) seeking alternative citizenship or residence options for global mobility, wealth preservation, and legacy planning.

Summit

The 9th Ghana CEO Summit, held under the theme; “Leading Ghana’s Economic Reset: Transforming Business and Governance for a Sustainable, Futuristic Economy”, brought together over 500 CEOs, policymakers, and industry leaders.

The event also featured the Leadership Excellence Awards segment, which recognised individuals who had demonstrated integrity, innovation, and impact in their respective sectors.

Journey 

Speaking after receiving the award, she described her journey into investment migration as a bold but uncertain one.

“Two years ago, I embraced a bold new chapter as a Consultant with Henley & Partners—introducing investment migration, a concept that remains largely esoteric in the Ghanaian market.

There were doubts, even from close allies. I said yes. Today, I am humbled that this leap of faith is being recognised,” she said.

Mrs Arthur also reflected on her broader career journey, emphasising her involvement in the early days of the country’s wealth management sphere.

“From introducing sophisticated investment solutions at the bank to redefining value in the insurance sector, this journey has shaped a 360° view of wealth, purpose, and possibility,” she added.

Her move into investment migration marks a significant shift in Ghana’s wealth advisory market, aligning local clients with global trends in cross-border financial planning.

She now works with an international network of legal and financial institutions to provide globally compliant solutions for clients navigating complex residency and citizenship processes.

Industry analysts say Mrs Arthur’s recognition is timely, as Ghana’s maturing financial ecosystem increasingly requires expertise in global wealth strategies.

Her work reflects a growing demand among Ghanaian elites for access to international opportunities, alternative jurisdictions, and diversified legacy planning.

As investment migration slowly becomes part of Ghana’s wealth management conversation, industry watchers believe Mrs Arthur’s recognition could mark a turning point in how global citizenship and mobility are perceived by the country’s financial elite.
