Lombard Odier | Swiss Private Bank Since 1796

The first half of 2025 has marked a pivotal shift in the global economic landscape. At our Rethink Perspectives event, "Towards a New World Order", held in Fribourg, @Samy Chaar, PhD, Chief Economist and CIO Switzerland, shared his views on the ongoing global reset and how we are positioning our portfolios in response. We were also honoured to hear from Gérard Araud, former French Ambassador to the United States, who offered a sharp and compelling analysis of today's geopolitical dynamics and the mechanisms of global power. A sincere thank you to @Stéphane Python, Local Managing Director of the Fribourg Office, and Frédéric Rochat, Managing Partner at Lombard Odier, for their opening remarks, and to all participants for the rich discussions and valuable exchanges. #rethinkperspectives #lombardodier

“We’re not chasing quarterly results, we’re building something enduring.” These words from @Zane Poyner, Managing Director at @Ian Williams Ltd, reflect a philosophy that’s been at the heart of the UK-based property services company since 1946. Privately owned, Ian Williams invests deeply in its people: from award-winning apprenticeships to long-term leadership development. The result? A business where unity, opportunity and care for community shape every decision. The company also gives back, donating 1% of annual profits to charity and committing to achieve net-zero emissions across its operations.

Today, the world is out of balance. What was up, feels down. Forwards, seems backwards. Globalisation has turned from opportunity to vulnerability. What were once safe havens, are now risks. It’s hard to get your bearings. In times of chaos, we all crave stability. But whilst others slow down and dig in… …we find balance through movement. At Lombard Odier, we are stable, but never still. For 229 years of history have taught us something vital. Stability isn’t static, it is constantly created. By rethinking. Everything.

Disruption is redefining the insurance landscape. From breakthrough weight loss drugs to climate volatility and advances in artificial intelligence, powerful forces are reshaping how insurers assess and manage risk. Drugs derived from the GLP-1 hormone, which helps regulate appetite and blood sugar, are transforming healthcare by reducing obesity-related diseases. At the same time, extreme weather and emerging digital threats are prompting insurers to shift from reactive coverage to proactive resilience. Together, these trends signal a broader transformation towards a net zero, nature positive, socially constructive and digitally enabled economy.

Our world is ageing. By 2050, more than one in five people worldwide will be aged 60 or above. This shift is fuelling demand for healthcare innovation, with the medical robotics market set to nearly quadruple to USD 63.8 billion by 2032. From exoskeletons to undertaking surgery and routine hospital tasks, robots could ease staff shortages and transform care. Costs, training, and ethical concerns remain, but if these hurdles are overcome, robotics may prove one of the most transformative forces in healthcare this century. @Financial Times #robotics #healthcare #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Is Europe’s outperformance here to stay? European equities demonstrated impressive performance in the first half of 2025, with financials leading the way, followed by defence and utilities. While Japan, emerging markets and the US have since regained ground, German and southern European markets continue to demonstrate leadership year to date. In a recent @FT Live & @Professional Wealth Management (PWM) webinar titled "Reallocating portfolios to capture European outperformance", @Nannette Hechler-Fayd'herbe, CIO EMEA and Head of Investment Strategy, Sustainability & Research at Lombard Odier, joined @Daniele Antonucci of Quintet Private Bank, @Alexandre Drabowicz, CAIA of Indosuez Wealth Management and @Oliver Jones of Rathbones for a discussion moderated by @Ian Smith of the @Financial Times. Nannette underlined that a sustained European outperformance would largely depend on the ability to translate market optimism into lasting corporate results. While the region is experiencing an uptick in confidence, headwinds such as regulatory constraints and productivity pressures cannot be ignored.

What’s holding back succession planning in the Gulf region? Our new survey found that just 1 in 5 families have comprehensive succession plans. The problem is not a lack of skilled successors – it’s a fear of tough conversations about leadership and legacy. Delaying succession planning can put family wealth and businesses at risk. But with open communication, clear governance, and shared values, families can prepare for a seamless transition.
