Who we are
About us

01. WHO WE ARE

Our story began in 2003 when two experienced finance professionals, Philippe Hardy and Vincent Desvaux de Marigny, founded DMH Associates with the vision of providing independent and professional advice to entrepreneurs, high net-worth individuals, and their families.

From our base in Mauritius, we offer a range of financial and investment services that are licensed and regulated by the Mauritius Financial Services Commission. We provide wealth management, stockbroking, and corporate finance advisory services to individuals and businesses alike.

At DMH, we pride ourselves on our commitment to high ethical standards and compliance. We believe in the value of integrity, and we bring a human touch to all our work processes. Our team of professionals has the skills, expertise, and experience necessary to help you achieve your financial objectives.

We understand that every client is unique, which is why we take a personalised approach to our services. We work closely with you to understand your financial goals, and we develop customised strategies to help you reach them.
