UBP Investment Insight Summit 2019

UBP Investment Insight Summit 2019

Our Asset Management division successfully hosted its second pan-European conference on 22 and 23 May in Zurich. 


More than 100 clients and guests from the UK, the Nordics, Chile, Israel, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Spain and Switzerland attended the event.

The aim with this annual event is to give our institutional clients a broad overview of current industry talking points. The programme consists of an attractive mix of varied and stimulating topics to focus the attention of the top management and decision-makers among our institutional client base. The audience appreciated the high quality of the internal and external speakers, and the stimulating and critical discussion that followed. The overall approach is deliberately to keep away from financial products and instead to concentrate on markets and evolving economic trends. A series of keynote speeches, round-table discussions and workshops successfully managed the balancing act between macro, markets and “outside-the-box” debates.

UBP succeeded in signing up outstanding speakers including Dr. Jacob Rowe, a leading medical expert in the field of haematology, Richard Mullender, a former Lead Trainer at the National Crisis and Hostage Negotiation Unit at Scotland Yard, and Yodia Lo, Senior Alternatives Analyst at Church Commissioners for England.

“The fact that many of last year’s attendees joined us again this May and the continuous growth of the event supports our concept of giving a platform for broad topics paired with high interactivity and meaningful networking opportunities. Clients and guests appreciated the open architecture of the topics discussed as well as the excellent quality of the speakers,”

says Nicolas Faller, Co-CEO Asset Management and Head of Institutional Clients.

Learning from the mistakes of the 1970s

2023 began with market optimism that the US could successfully navigate its battle with inflation. Recent data have confirmed our suspicions that getting inflation back to the Fed’s 2% target will be more challenging than markets had been assuming.

Adapting Advisory portfolios to the improved fixed income outlook

As a decade of yield repression comes to an end, building a fixed income portfolio with an acceptable yield has become an easier task. Given a deteriorating economic background and hawkish policymakers, we believe in harvesting the attractive yields offered by short-term quality bonds, which currently have the best risk-return profile.

Japan’s equity market: small is beautiful

The steep fall in valuations that started at the end of 2021 disproportionately affected the innovative growth segment of the Japanese market. With the stronger yen, companies that are less vulnerable to global cycles could prove to be the ones to consider.
