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

Im Jahr 2025 erwiesen sich die Finanzmärkte als schockresistent. Doch 2026 könnte es Zeit für einen vertieften Realitätscheck sein. Zölle, politische Unsicherheit und moderates Wachstum werden den Ausblick prägen, auch wenn Geld- und Fiskalpolitik ein Sicherheitsnetz bieten. Sinkende Zinsen, positives Wirtschafts- und Gewinnwachstum sowie hohe Investitionen von Staaten und Unternehmen können die Dynamik stützen. Doch es fehlt nicht an Risiken: Risse am Arbeitsmarkt, ein Stimmungsumschwung gegenüber KI, Sorgen über die Fiskalpolitik oder politische Beeinflussung von Institutionen. Für Anlegerinnen und Anleger liegt die Messlatte hoch. Sehen Sie sich unser neues Video mit Michael Strobaek, Global CIO, an. Er erläutert unseren Ausblick und wie wir die Portfolios auf Resilienz und Wachstum ausrichten: durch Engagements in Schwellenländeranlagen, in ausgewählten Industrieländern und Sektoren sowie in Realanlagen wie Gold.

The surge in family offices in the Middle East reflects a profound shift in how the region’s leading families manage and preserve their wealth. Drawing on insights from our latest succession survey and the expertise of @Joëlle de Cerjat Santa Cruz, Senior Wealth Planner Middle East, we explore the growing need for structured governance, diversified investment strategies and long-term clarity as generational transitions accelerate. This evolution points to a maturing private wealth landscape in which continuity, cohesion and purpose are now critical.

Black Friday 2024 offered a clear view into a rapidly changing e-commerce landscape. Global online sales reached USD 314.9bn as platforms such as Temu, Shein and TikTok Shop expanded, while traditional players saw muted results. AI and alternative data are now shaping demand in real time, influencing visibility, pricing and logistics across the retail chain. Yet the momentum comes with environmental pressures. Ultra-fast fashion orders rose sharply over the 2024 Cyber weekend, contributing to an estimated 1.2mn tonnes of CO₂ from deliveries alone and highlighting the need for circularity, repair and greater traceability. Looking ahead to 2025, forecasts point to another strong Cyber Week, with rising price sensitivity pushing consumers toward AI-powered research, deal-optimisation and social-driven discovery – making this the first holiday season where AI could meaningfully shape shopping at scale. Black Friday now serves as a lens on the forces reshaping retail: technological, environmental and behavioural.

In an interview with @Le Figaro, Frédéric Rochat, Managing Partner at Lombard Odier, discusses the economic challenges facing France. Despite strong assets such as world-class education, research, energy independence and leading companies, political instability and rising tax pressures threaten the country’s appeal. Frédéric Rochat argues that France must choose competitiveness as the only path to attract talent and investment and to secure long-term prosperity in an increasingly competitive world.

What if a building could help us rethink the way we work, service our clients, and care for our environment? Our new headquarters, 1Roof, designed by @Herzog & de Meuron on the shores of Lake Geneva, brings that vision to life. Connected to GeniLac, Geneva’s renewable thermal energy network, it harnesses the lake’s natural coolness to heat and cool our offices, reducing our carbon footprint in Geneva by 25%. With deep balconies, a green roof and a rainwater recovery system, 1Roof has been designed to meet the highest sustainability standards, including Minergie P, SNBS and BREEAM. More than a workplace, it reflects our commitment to innovation, sustainability and a long-term vision of banking for the future.

Was passiert, wenn der amerikanische Supreme Court – wie zu erwarten ist – gegen die Anwendung der US-Zölle gemäss International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) entscheidet? Wir analysieren die möglichen wirtschaftlichen und finanziellen Auswirkungen. Wir erwarten, dass Zölle, die vom Gericht aufgehoben werden, schnell durch Zölle auf anderer rechtlicher Basis ersetzt werden. Daher dürfte das aktuelle Zollniveau insgesamt weitgehend bestehen bleiben.

What does planning for the future mean when your wealth reflects years of vision and hard work? For entrepreneurs, major decisions such as selling a business, relocating or redefining purpose shape both family and legacy. The UK remains a strategic hub – even as tax rules evolve – offering access to capital, talent and global connectivity. In this shifting landscape, thoughtful planning around succession, governance and cross border structuring is essential. At Lombard Odier, we help entrepreneurs turn complexity into clarity so their wealth remains protected and purposeful for generations: http://spkl.io/6044AjNX8 @Izzy Holgate #entrepreneur #wealthmanagement #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Last week, @Nannette Hechler-Fayd'herbe, Chief Investment Officer EMEA and Head of Investment Strategy, Sustainability and Research at Lombard Odier, joined a fascinating panel discussion organised by @PWM on “Thawing geopolitical relations – China’s comeback for investors.” The conversation explored how global trade alliances might evolve in the wake of Trump 2.0, whether China’s property market is on the path to recovery, and how technological breakthroughs such as DeepSeek’s AI signal long-term investment opportunities. Nannette shared her perspective alongside @Xiaolan Fu, Professor of Technology and International Development at the @University of Oxford; @Manpreet Gill, Chief Investment Officer for Africa, Middle East and Europe at @Standard Chartered; and @Willem Sels, Global Chief Investment Officer for Global Private Banking and Premier Wealth at @HSBC. The discussion was moderated by @Yuri Bender, Editor-in-Chief of PWM. As sentiment shifts and government stimuli boost equities, the question remains: could China re-emerge as a strategic allocation for wealth management portfolios? #rethinkinvestment #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

What does it take to preserve a legacy in a time of unprecedented wealth transition? Across the Gulf, one of the largest intergenerational transfers in modern history is underway. The question is no longer how wealth is created, but how it endures, through structure, dialogue, and shared vision. Yet many families still lack formal succession plans. True continuity depends on good governance, transparency, and collaboration between generations. The next generation is redefining success, seeking purpose, innovation, and impact alongside prosperity. Succession is not an event. It's a mindset that transforms heritage into lasting legacy.

Our first signature event at 1Roof was a strong success, bringing together more than 500 clients and partners. Following opening remarks from Frédéric Rochat, Managing Partner at Lombard Odier, and an economic briefing by @Samy Chaar, PhD, our Chief Economist and Switzerland CIO, the floor was handed to Gérard Araud, former French Ambassador to the US, who delivered a sharp geopolitical analysis. His message was clear: the era of linear globalisation has come to an end. Geopolitics has re-emerged in a world without an arbiter, where Europe must adjust to this new paradigm and reconsider its role amid the rise of non-Western powers. In this shifting global landscape, opportunities remain for those prepared to rethink their strategies.

What if CO₂ became a raw material? That’s the ambition of @Dioxycle, the deeptech founded by @Sarah Lamaison, PhD and @David Wakerley, PhD. Their electrolyser converts industrial emissions into sustainable ethylene – a breakthrough that could prevent up to 800 million tonnes of CO₂ annually, equal to Germany’s emissions. Backed by Breakthrough Energy (Bill Gates), the company is now scaling from lab to industry to make circular carbon chemistry a reality.

Si, comme prévu, la Cour suprême des États-Unis se prononce contre l’application des tarifs américains au titre de l’International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), quelle sera la prochaine étape pour les marchés ? Nous examinons les potentiels impacts économiques et financiers. Nous anticipons que tout droit de douane annulé par la Cour soit rapidement réintroduit via une autre législation. Par conséquent, les niveaux actuels de droits de douane devraient rester globalement inchangés : http://spkl.io/6040Ad9Ni #economicoutlooks #investmentinsights #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Vertical farming is entering a more mature stage. Recent failures, including @Plenty®’s restructuring, signal a necessary correction as the sector shifts from ambitious automation to commercially viable, energy-efficient models. The fundamentals remain strong: higher yields on minimal land, 90% less water use, pesticide-free production and reliable year-round output – all increasingly important as climate pressures challenge global food systems. With governments and retailers seeking greater supply-chain resilience, several operators are now proving profitability at scale. The industry is moving from promise to disciplined execution. Watch our video in partnership with the @Financial Times to explore how vertical farming is evolving: http://spkl.io/6046AdGQQ #farming #sustainability #rethinksustainability #lombardodier

What drives an entrepreneur’s success beyond the business itself? We believe it lies in the ability to make informed, long-term decisions – especially when it comes to valuation, succession or the sale of a company. Through our Corporate Advisory service, we support entrepreneurs through each of these key milestones. We are pleased to share the successful transfer of @Contexa, a leading provider of volumetric dosing solutions for the fragrance and flavour industry, to its management team – @Daniel Schupbach, @Alain Fournier and @Claudia Baldovin. It has been a privilege to advise and accompany the shareholders throughout this transaction. Read more here: http://spkl.io/6046Aj4QE #entrepreneur #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Was treibt den langfristigen Erfolg von Familienunternehmen an? In den kommenden Jahren wird geschätzt, dass rund 90’000 Schweizer Unternehmen einen Führungswechsel erleben werden – ein entscheidender Moment für viele Familienunternehmen, bei dem der Übergang weit über die reine Geschäftsstrategie hinausgeht und Fragen von Identität, Werten und Nachfolge berührt. Am Generation Summit 2025 kamen führende Unternehmerinnen, Unternehmer und Expertinnen sowie Experten der Schweizer Wirtschaft in Zürich zusammen. Die von @Finanz und Wirtschaft organisierte und von Lombard Odier unterstützte Veranstaltung widmete sich der Frage, wie Familienunternehmen diese Phase des Wandels in einer sich rasant verändernden Welt erfolgreich gestalten können. Zu den Referierenden zählten unter anderem @André Hoffmann, Vizepräsident der @Roche Holding AG, @Nannette Hechler-Fayd'herbe, Head of Investment Strategy, Sustainability and Research sowie CIO EMEA bei Lombard Odier, und Annemarie Widmer, Inhaberin und CEO des Kosmetik- und Pharmaunternehmens @Louis Widmer SA. Sie teilten ihre Perspektiven zu Führung, Sinnstiftung und den sich wandelnden Erwartungen der nächsten Generation. Wie Dr. Hechler-Fayd’herbe betonte: „Der Mensch ist darauf ausgelegt, Lösungen zu finden – deshalb bin ich optimistisch. Solche Momente fördern Innovation, und die Schweiz verfügt über eine starke Innovationskraft.“ Ihre Botschaft war eindeutig: Familienunternehmen, die Tradition mit Innovation und Werte mit Vision verbinden, werden auch künftig über Generationen hinweg erfolgreich sein.
