How can investors turn today’s uncertainty into sustainable opportunities? Geopolitical tensions, market volatility, rising oil prices, and persistent inflation create an environment in which familiar reference points can quickly become blurred. Yet sound wealth management is not about reacting to every market movement; rather, it rests on a holistic vision encompassing asset allocation, tax planning, liquidity management, wealth transfer, family governance, and long-term objectives. At Lombard Odier, we support our clients through a disciplined and integrated approach, helping them make decisions in a methodical and considered manner rather than out of short-term anxiety.

How is private banking evolving in an increasingly uncertain world? In an interview with @Funds Society España, @Iván Basa Segimón, Managing Director of Lombard Odier in Spain, explains why today’s market volatility is not slowing private banking growth, but raising expectations around expertise, technology, and personalised advice. From intergenerational wealth transfers to artificial intelligence and long-term relationships, the interview reveals how the industry is adapting to a new era of wealth management.

How can investment risk oversight remain consistent across business lines, asset classes, and geographies in an increasingly complex environment? To address this crucial issue, we are expanding our existing engagement with @Bloomberg. Announcing the move today, @Alexandre Meyer, Managing Partner at Lombard Odier, said, “"As part of the transformation of our target operating model, we are rolling out Bloomberg-developed investment risk solutions across our Wealth Management and Private Banking activities, following their long-standing use in Asset Management.” Discover more about our collaboration with Bloomberg: http://spkl.io/604876UYE #mediarealease #rethinkeverything

European equities continue to face scrutiny – but are investors overlooking the region’s long-term strengths? In an interview with @De Standaard , @Michael Strobaek, Lombard Odier’s Chief Investment Officer, explains why we continue to see opportunity in both European equities and emerging markets despite ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainty. “European equities are cheap, and Europe still has companies that form a strong industrial backbone,” he notes. From energy security to the global AI race, discover his perspective on the forces shaping markets – and why staying invested remains key: http://spkl.io/6045ACmxF #economicoutlooks #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

As geopolitics accelerates changes already underway in our societies, how should investors respond? Trade tensions, conflict and policy uncertainty are pushing governments and companies towards strategic autonomy and resilience. Thematic equity exposures can help investors look through short-term volatility and focus on durable earnings drivers, as capital is redirected and policy priorities change. Our rethink investments report sets out six long‑term themes, based around changes in demographics, technology, infrastructure, security and the sustainability transition. It builds on our rigorous research and analysis into these themes and the investment opportunities that flow from them. Thematic investing can help diversify equity risk, support discipline during periods of market volatility, and capture value creation across cycles.

Cross-views: investing through uncertainty, shaping the future of finance. At a recent conference hosted by Lombard Odier at 1Roof, clients and experts gathered to explore today’s key investment questions, from geopolitics, energy markets, inflation, and interest rates to digital assets and tokenisation. Insights from @Nadine Mottu, Partner and Co-head ‘Grandes Familles’; @Samy Chaar, PhD, Partner, Chief Economist and CIO Switzerland; and Sébastien Dessimoz, Co-founder and Managing Partner at @Taurus SA, highlighted both the resilience of global fundamentals and the ongoing transformation of financial infrastructure. As Samy Chaar noted: “Twelve months after the start of a conflict, markets are generally higher. The key is not the conflict itself, but whether it alters growth, profits, and interest rates. Investors should remain invested as long as the global economy continues to expand.” Between short-term uncertainty and long-term structural change, the challenge remains to stay invested with discipline while identifying the forces reshaping tomorrow’s financial system.

Are UK business owners ready for 6 April 2026? From that date, a long standing pillar of UK estate planning will change. Inheritance tax relief on qualifying business assets will fall to 50 percent above GBP 2.5 million, ending more than 30 years of near-total exemption for many entrepreneurs. For owners of high value, illiquid businesses, the question is no longer whether an IHT liability exists, but how it will be funded – and what steps should be taken before the deadline. Wills may need revisiting. Succession strategies may need accelerating. Trust-based planning, where appropriate, must be completed by 5 April 2026. As the window narrows, options diminish. Early, thoughtful planning helps preserve choice and protect both family interests and business continuity. Read our analysis on what business owners should consider now: http://spkl.io/6047ASHaR #UK #tax #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

How should private assets fit into a client portfolio? In an interview with @Il Sole 24 Ore, Frédéric Rochat, Managing Partner at Lombard Odier, explains why private assets cannot be approached with a one-size-fits-all mindset. Portfolio construction must reflect each client’s profile, existing exposures, and long-term objectives. Private markets can provide access to innovation across technology and life sciences, but they also require careful assessment and bespoke structuring. In today’s volatile and uncertain environment, Italy is emerging as an increasingly attractive destination for entrepreneurs and international families.

Over the past twenty years, real estate prices have risen in real terms across most countries. Since 2022, however, higher inflation and rising financing costs have made property investment more complex, weighing on demand in many regions. Some markets have nonetheless proved more resilient, including Spain, Dubai, and Singapore.

Thinking about selling your business in 2026? Preparing for an exit is an art, not a science – and starting early can make all the difference. From audited accounts and a strong management team to tax planning and engaging the right advisors, there are key steps every entrepreneur should take well ahead of time. Our UK CEO, @Mark Goddard, shares his insights on how to maximise business value and plan for your personal wealth post-sale: http://spkl.io/6043AY8yx #UK #wealthmanagement #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Are we fully leveraging today’s technologies to build a sustainable future? At a recent conference, we had the privilege of welcoming @Raphaël DOMJAN, eco-explorer and entrepreneur, whose journey illustrates how bold vision can translate into tangible impact. From the first round‑the‑world voyage powered entirely by solar energy aboard @PlanetSolar Foundation to his current ambition of reaching the stratosphere aboard the solar aircraft @SolarStratos, Raphaël Domjan shared a compelling message: the solutions for a decarbonised future already exist. The real challenge lies in our collective ability to adopt, scale, and maximise them. His perspective resonates strongly with our own commitment to turning vision into action, navigating complexity with agility, and using technology as a driver of innovation and sustainable growth. It was a privilege to host Raphaël Domjan and hear his story firsthand. #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

What will define the next era of wealth management? In a recent feature by @Trends-Tendances, Lombard Odier shared its perspective on the how the Belgian private banking landscape is being reshaped by entrepreneurship, global diversification, and the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history. As expectations evolve, transparency, impact, and long-term partnerships are becoming central to how families manage and preserve their wealth across generations.

What should a private bank’s headquarters say about the institution it represents? We are proud that 1Roof has now been recognised as “Best Headquarters” at the 2026 @Monocle Design Awards, with the project featured in Monocle’s May issue. As Hubert Keller, Senior Managing Partner at Lombard Odier, puts it: “It’s more than a building, it represents who we are today.” For Lombard Odier, 1Roof was conceived as more than a workplace. Bringing together more than 2,000 employees previously spread across six sites in Geneva, the @Herzog & de Meuron-designed building on the shores of Lake Geneva reflects our long-term vision and our values of integrity, openness and sustainability.

What does it really mean to step away from the company you have built? For many entrepreneurs, a business is more than a company. It is part of their identity. That is why selling or transferring a business goes far beyond the transaction itself. From governance and continuity to family alignment, legacy, and life after exit, every transition raises both strategic and personal questions. Lombard Odier Corporate Advisory explores why anticipating succession early is essential to protect enterprise value, strengthen stakeholder confidence, and help entrepreneurs prepare their next chapter with clarity and purpose.

After years of care, expertise, and patience, @Frank P Matthews Ltd has won a Gold Medal at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 for its celebration of the Malus genus. The recognition comes in the nursery’s 125th year and reflects nearly a decade of preparation, from specialist grafting and careful tree training to the long-term stewardship that has shaped the business across four generations. As proud sponsor of Frank P Matthews at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, Lombard Odier celebrates an achievement that reflects shared values of long-term thinking and resilience across generations.

In a recent article, @Forbes Luxembourg highlights how Lombard Odier integrates contemporary art into its offices in Geneva and Luxembourg as part of its broader approach to culture. Beyond its aesthetic presence, the collection introduces a visual language into private banking, engaging with sustainability as a systemic transition, exploring the wider implications of innovation, and reflecting the social and political dynamics shaping European economies. Through Fondation Philanthropia, this approach also extends to philanthropy as an expression of stewardship. In Luxembourg, it contributes to a changing financial ecosystem where culture can foster dialogue and where complexity is recognised as part of long-term thinking.

What could financial markets look like over the next decade? Our latest analysis highlights three key charts shaping the long-term investment outlook. Global equities are expected to remain resilient, though the above-average returns of the past decade may be harder to repeat. Bonds, by contrast, are set to reassert their role as a reliable source of income in more balanced portfolios. Against this backdrop, the US dollar appears stretched versus the euro, Swiss franc, and yen. In Switzerland, persistently low rates continue to favour real estate over traditional fixed income as a source of yield.

How do you truly explore a place like 1Roof? Not only by observing its architecture, but by engaging with the art that lives within it. For the latest LO Society edition dedicated to art, we welcomed our clients to our headquarters for an immersive journey through the works that help define 1Roof’s identity. Moving through the building with @Irina KLEMME, curator of the Pierre Darier and Lombard Odier collections, we examined how each installation was conceived to dialogue with its surroundings – and with those who pass through them. From architectural pieces by Joseph Kosuth and Jesús-Rafael Soto to Window I by Richard Smith, the artworks revealed themselves not as standalone pieces, but as integral elements of the space, shaping perception, movement, and experience. Part of a series of art-focussed encounters launched five years ago, the evening also opened up thoughtful conversations around our cultural vision and the place art holds within our working environment. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to these enriching exchanges. @Frédéric Praz @Michel Zumstein #art #1roof #losociety #lombardodier

What if 2026 were poised to reshape the way investors think about growth, resilience, and opportunity? Last week, @Amer Malik, Senior Executive Officer of Lombard Odier Middle East Ltd, shared his perspective on the region’s dynamic landscape and the important role Lombard Odier is playing in supporting clients across the Middle East through its growing regional franchise. @Michael Strobaek, Limited Partner and Global Chief Investment Officer, then explored the key forces set to define 2026: a soft but still expanding global economy, resilient emerging markets, moderating inflation, and broadly supportive monetary and fiscal policies. He highlighted how shifting geopolitics, rewired supply chains, and the global race for AI leadership are opening new avenues for returns. At the same time, he underscored that today’s environment continues to reward sharp selectivity, genuine global diversification, and a confident yet disciplined pro‑risk stance. A warm thank you to all participants for making this an insightful, engaging, and energising event. @Bobby Chana #investmentinsights #markets #2026outlook #dubai #lombardodier

What sustainability trends should investors watch in 2026? Sustainable investing has entered a new phase. As political support fades, the transition is increasingly driven by economics – cost, scalability, and performance. In 2025, sustainability moved decisively from ideology to fundamentals. Modular clean technologies, AI-enabled systems, predictable renewable power, land-efficient food production, and preventive healthcare are reshaping competitiveness across energy, industry, food, and health. Discover five key trends that show why sustainability is no longer about constraint or compliance, but about building a more resilient and economically efficient system: http://spkl.io/6041AqXHH #sustainability #AI #rethinksustainability #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Did you know that, as AI power demand is set to accelerate in 2026, liquid cooling is becoming a structural requirement rather than an option? It is rapidly emerging as the backbone of next-generation data centre infrastructure. High density AI racks are pushing beyond the limits of air cooling, making liquid-based solutions essential for efficiency, stability, and scalability. Despite higher upfront costs, liquid cooling is already cost effective at elevated power densities, while enabling stronger performance, improved sustainability, and longer hardware lifespans. Discover why cooling is becoming a defining competitive advantage in the AI infrastructure race: http://spkl.io/6040AWjN2 #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Will AI deliver on its promises? Our strategic research suggests that productivity gains in the decade ahead may exceed the boost provided by the widespread adoption of the internet and PCs in the early 2000s. We also set out AI’s wider economic impacts, including its gradual implications for the employment market, as well as the differing priorities in the AI race between the US and China.

As 2025 draws to a close, we take a moment to reflect on a world still in erratic motion, shaped by geopolitical shifts, technological acceleration, environmental urgency, and profound economic transformation. What once felt certain now feels less predictable. What appeared stable has lost its equilibrium. In times of imbalance, it can be hard to find our bearings. History shows that stability is not static. It is something that must be constantly re-created. It emerges through perspective, adaptability, and a long-term view that looks beyond immediate contingencies. As the festive season approaches, we extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones for a joyful and peaceful end to the year. May 2026 be a year of renewed balance, clarity, and opportunity – and a future full of promise.
