What happens when geopolitics takes the driver’s seat in the global EV race? The global EV race is no longer defined by engineering prowess alone. Trade policy, geopolitical realignment and China’s accelerated innovation are reshaping the automotive industry at its core. In our latest analysis, we examine how new US tariffs are disrupting global value chains, and how China’s strategic investment in EV technology, battery innovation and rare earth supply is challenging the position of traditional market leaders. Discover how the interplay between trade, policy and innovation is driving a new global automotive order: http://spkl.io/6045fhku3 #EV #sustainability #rethinksustainability #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Sollten internationale Anlegerinnen und Anleger einen Führungswechsel in Japan nach den Wahlen im Juli fürchten? Japans Premierminister Ishiba steht vor einer schwierigen Oberhauswahl. Die Anleger verfolgen aufmerksam, wie politische Rivalen eine weniger strenge Haushaltsdisziplin anstreben. Dennoch sehen wir Potenzial für eine Stabilisierung: Die Bank of Japan dürfte weiterhin vorsichtig agieren, und der Aktienmarkt profitiert nach wie vor von einer starken Reformdynamik. Mit attraktiven Anleihenrenditen und einer besseren Corporate Governance können sich langfristigen Anlegern trotz Unsicherheit Chancen bieten.

Wildfires are becoming more intense. Can AI help us stay one step ahead? Europe has been cloaked in an eerie haze this week, as smoke from Canada’s wildfires drifts across continents. Cities from Lyon to Munich and Bern suddenly ranked among the world’s most polluted, a stark symbol of climate change’s growing, borderless reach. Climate change is fuelling more intense and frequent wildfires. AI is becoming a valuable ally in this fight, enhancing early warnings, real-time detection, and fire prediction. But AI alone won’t be enough. Building long-term resilience requires greater investment in nature, smarter land management, and a fundamental transition to a net-zero, nature-positive economy. Explore how AI is transforming wildfire response in our video with the @Financial Times: http://spkl.io/6041fCKV3 #wildfire #ai #sustainability #rethinksustainability #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

What an incredible two days at Lombard Odier’s 2025 Hackathon! Our largest collaborative event brought together eleven multidisciplinary internal teams to turn bold ideas into impactful solutions for the Bank. This year, we partnered with École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (@EPFL), welcoming talented students who infused fresh perspectives and technical know-how. A special highlight was having an EPFL professor on the jury, bringing academic depth to the closing ceremony. From reimagining client onboarding to leveraging AI for smarter workflows, teams tackled challenges aligned with our strategic priorities, showcasing creativity and teamwork. The energy was electric during the 4-minute “elevator pitch” demos, with participants voting for the most innovative ideas. A huge thank you to everyone involved for making this event a true reflection of Lombard Odier's innovative spirit. Congratulations to all participants for pushing boundaries and reimagining the future of work. #hackathon #banking #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

From system changes to pain points – is this the era of economics-led sustainability? At Lombard Odier’s Transition Investment Summit, held recently in London, leading thinkers from across multiple disciplines joined invited delegates to explore the changing landscape of sustainable investments. With a keynote speech from renowned academic Professor @Mariana Mazzucato, and contributions from asset owners and experts in sustainable investment analysis, the Summit heard that political headwinds are changing the basis for the sustainability transition – but that the end destination remains unchanged. @Hubert Keller, Lombard Odier’s Senior Managing Partner, said: “Investors can debate many things, but we can’t debate the ‘end-game’. It is simply inevitable that we are moving towards an economic end-state that is fully decarbonised, has a neutral to positive footprint on nature, will be socially constructive, and also will be digitally enabled. At Lombard Odier, this is an investment conviction, and it’s what drives our investment thinking.” Discover more: http://spkl.io/6043f2sj3 #loimsummit #systemchange #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

With a focus on active management, private assets, and family governance, we guide clients across generations with clarity and conviction.

Kann die Dynamik, die durch das Handelsabkommen zwischen China und den USA entstanden ist, anhalten? Der S&P 500 ist auf die Niveaus zurückgekehrt, auf denen er vor den Zollankündigungen vom 2. April notiert hat. US-Staatsanleihen bieten attraktive Chancen, und der US-Dollar scheint fair bewertet. Niedrigere Zölle, eine Erholung der Marktstimmung und mögliche Steuersenkungen in den USA dürften dazu beitragen, dass US-Aktien im Einklang mit globalen Aktien zulegen. Die Portfoliodiversifizierung auf Ebene der Regionen und Anlageklassen bleibt zentral: http://spkl.io/6043fFvIN #economicoutlooks #investmentinsights #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Was sind die wahrscheinlichsten Szenarien im Konflikt zwischen Israel und Iran, und was heisst das für die Positionierung von Anlegerinnen und Anlegern? Die Geldpolitik dürfte sich auf die Kerninflation konzentrieren, welche die Nachfragedynamik widerspiegelt, statt auf Angebotsschocks wegen steigender Ölpreise. Wir sehen aufgrund des Gewinnwachstums anhaltendes Potenzial an den Aktienmärkten und erwarten einen Rückgang der Renditen von US-Staatsanleihen: http://spkl.io/6042fhk1n #investment #rethinkinvestment #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Is AI revolutionising finance or just a passing trend? We recently hosted a thought-provoking event exploring the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in finance, a key pillar of Lombard Odier’s six strong investment convictions for the future. Our speakers, @Valerio Rossetti, PhD, Principal Data Scientist at @Swiss Data Science Center, and Marco Barresi, Senior Equity Analyst, Technology Sector at Lombard Odier, shared compelling insights on how AI is reshaping investments and driving value creation. Valerio highlighted the transition of AI solutions from academic research to real-world applications, transforming investment strategies, while Marco showcased how AI is opening new pathways for portfolio management. Their engaging dialogue delved into the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into financial strategies, sparking lively discussions. Key insights: ▸Data is critical: Organisations mastering data governance gain a competitive edge in AI applications. ▸AI’s evolution: Companies with strong data maturity and a culture of innovation are poised to lead. ▸LLM and agentic systems: These technologies are transforming industries, with established firms adopting them over the past 1-2 years, though their full impact is still emerging. ▸Generative vs. “simple” AI: While generative AI grabs headlines, traditional AI remains a powerful driver of value creation. Thank you to our speakers and attendees for making this an enriching evening of ideas and connections. @Frédéric Praz @Michel Zumstein #AI #innovation #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Is extreme weather becoming the new normal? In 1984, climate disasters cost the world USD 9.2 bn. By 2024, this figure had surged to USD 320 bn. The long-term trend is clear: physical climate risk is asing in both magnitude and frequency, and so is its impact on portfolios. This World Environment Day, we stand by our conviction that resilient, transition-ready investments are essential for thriving in a changing world.

How will global markets navigate a slowing US economy and evolving trade dynamics? At our recent "The Chief Economist meeting", @Samy Chaar, PhD, Global Chief Economist at Lombard Odier shared five key insights for investors in 2025. Key takeaways: 1. US economic slowdown: growth is cooling, with a transactional tariff approach shaping US-UK and US-China relations 2. Recession outlook: no recession remains our base case but the Fed is likely to ease if inflation expectations stay anchored 3. China stimulus: PBoC cut rates to counter slowdown 4. Market sentiment: improved post-US-China trade prospects, with upside in developed and emerging stocks 5. Investment strategy: we are overweight fixed income whilst favouring corporate credit. These insights highlight a dynamic global economy navigating slower growth, strategic trade policies, and resilient markets. @Laurent Pellet, Partner and Global Head of EAM at Lombard Odier, commented: "Our annual roundtables with our Chief Economist have become a key moment – a unique opportunity to exchange views with our EAM partners in an intimate setting that fosters open dialogue." #economicoutlooks #investmentinsights #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Wie haben die Märkte auf Trumps Zollpolitik reagiert? Welche Chancen und Risiken ergaben sich für Anleger? Am Donnerstag, 15. Mai 2025, war @Nannette Hechler-Fayd'herbe, Chief Investment Officer EMEA sowie Head of Investment Strategy, Sustainability & Research bei Lombard Odier, um 07:17 Uhr auf SRF 1 im Format „Morgengast“ zu hören – der täglichen Sendung, die aktuelle Themen pointiert aufgreift. Sie nahm Stellung zu folgenden Fragen: - Warum haben sich die Märkte nach Trumps „Zollhammer“ so schnell erholt? - Wer waren die Gewinner und Verlierer dieser volatilen Phase? - Haben sich Prognosen über besonders betroffene Kleinanleger bestätigt? - Wird sich die Lage nach Trumps neuen internationalen Deals stabilisieren? - Worauf sollten Anleger jetzt besonders achten? Ein spannender Blick auf geopolitische Einflüsse, Marktpsychologie und strategisches Investieren – fundiert und direkt aus erster Hand.

This month’s Must-See Charts spotlight two big shifts that are reshaping the future of investing and our response to them. Private assets are unlocking long-term growth in clean energy, healthcare, and tech and the electrification boom is creating powerful opportunities as electricity demand surges. It is not just about riding out volatility, it is about strategically positioning for what’s next. See how it all connects – in one clear view: http://spkl.io/6046fF0s6 #economicoutlooks #investmentinsights #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Wie entwickeln sich Aktien von Schwellenländern angesichts der Unsicherheit rund um den Handel mit den USA? Wir betrachten die Faktoren, welche die Aktienmärkte der Schwellenländer belasten – Märkte, die in der Vergangenheit eine enge Korrelation mit den US-Börsen aufgewiesen haben. Doch diesmal geht ein schwächerer US-Dollar nicht mit einem „risikofreudigeren“ Umfeld einher. Während sich die Folgen der Zölle allmählich in der Weltwirtschaft bemerkbar machen, sehen wir Chancen für eine Erholung der Schwellenländeraktien – sofern strukturelle und konjunkturelle Veränderungen eintreten: http://spkl.io/6047fLujX #economicoutlooks #investmentinsights #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Sichere Häfen: Gibt es Alternativen zu Gold? Gold stand in den letzten Wochen im Fokus, da der Goldpreis ein Rekordhoch erreichte und dann wieder nachgab. Doch Gold ist nicht die einzige Option. Aufgrund der Volatilität des Goldpreises sollten Anlegerinnen und Anleger das Potenzial anderer Zufluchtswerte, namentlich des Schweizer Frankens und des japanischen Yen, nicht ausser Acht lassen. Wir vergleichen die Performance von Zufluchtswerten mit ihrer Entwicklung in der Vergangenheit: http://spkl.io/6047f0mx1 #economicoutlooks #investmentinsights #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

At our recent LO Women Invest lunch at Browns Hotel, London, we explored "The Psychology of Wealth" with a remarkable group of CEOs, female entrepreneurs, and family office representatives for a dynamic exchange of ideas. @Nannette Hechler-Fayd'herbe, our CIO for EMEA, delivered a clear, data-driven talk on overcoming barriers that often hold women back from investing – from complex jargon to the pressure to fully master the topic before getting started. She encouraged early action, tailored strategies across life stages, and highlighted current opportunities in fixed income for diversification. Senior Wealth Planner @Izzy Holgate offered a fresh perspective on family governance. Using a cruise ship analogy, she illustrated how different family members play different roles and stressed the importance of aligning on shared values and long-term investment goals. Her message: wealth can be more than financial – it’s often the emotional glue that holds families together. The event sparked insightful and lively conversations, underscoring the power of community and peer learning in navigating wealth management. #lowomeninvest #economicoutlooks #investmentinsights #macroeconomics #lombardodier

Welche Rendite sollen Anlegerinnen und Anleger für das zusätzliche Risiko eines Investments in Aktien statt Anleihen erwarten? Die sogenannte Aktienrisikoprämie (Equity Risk Premium, ERP) hat sich aufgrund der Handelskonflikte verändert. In den USA ist die ERP gestiegen, bleibt jedoch unter dem historischen Durchschnitt. Handelsunsicherheiten belasten die Gewinnerwartungen der Unternehmen und bewirken eine Neubewertung der Aktienkurse.
