With a global network of over 21,000 professionals across 96 countries, STEP is widely recognised as the benchmark for excellence, expertise, and trusted knowledge in the private wealth sector.
Established in 2003 by its esteemed founder, Mr Peter Economides, STEP Cyprus has grown into one of the most dynamic and influential branches within the worldwide STEP network. As of 2026, the branch proudly represents a strong and expanding community of over 170 members, reflecting the depth of talent and the high calibre of professionals operating in Cyprus.
Despite the country’s size, STEP Cyprus stands out as one of the largest branches globally on a per capita basis — a testament to Cyprus’ position as a leading international centre for private wealth services. The branch is highly active both locally and internationally, playing a key role within STEP Europe and contributing to the global dialogue on best practices, innovation, and professional standards.
Through its vibrant programme of events, thought leadership, and member engagement, STEP Cyprus continues to strengthen its reputation as a hub of expertise and a driving force in advancing the private wealth industry.
