Lombard Odier | Banca privata svizzera dal 1796

Per Lombard Odier, il futuro inizia con l’inaugurazione della nostra nuova sede globale, situata sulle rive del Lago di Ginevra. Progettato dai rinomati architetti svizzeri, @Herzog & de Meuron, questo edificio riafferma le nostre radici ginevrine e il nostro impegno a servire i clienti con responsabilità, competenza, attenzione e convinzione – riunendo tutti i nostri collaboratori di Ginevra sotto un unico tetto. Costruita secondo i migliori standard di sostenibilità, la nostra sede sfrutta l’energia solare e GeniLac, il sistema di riscaldamento e raffrescamento a bassissime emissioni e alimentato dall’acqua del lago. Il contesto naturale dell’edificio è arricchito da iniziative a favore della biodiversità tra cui la piantagione di oltre 160 alberi. Progettato per garantire flessibilità e trasparenza, l’edificio si integra armoniosamente nell’ambiente circostante. Al centro, un ampio atrio vetrato illumina di luce naturale ogni piano, mentre gli spazi dedicati ai clienti sono stati realizzati con materiali naturali e senza tempo, creando un’atmosfera raffinata e moltoaccogliente. In quanto banca privata più antica di Ginevra, con quasi 230 anni di storia, questa nuova sede rappresenta un punto storico per il Gruppo e lo prepara alla sua crescita futura. Questo conferma inoltre il profondo legame di Lombard Odier con Ginevra e la sua fiducia costante nel settore finanziario svizzero. Come sottolinea @Hubert Keller, Senior Managing Partner: «La nostra nuova sede è più di un edificio. Riflette chi siamo e i valori che condividiamo con i nostri clienti.» Scopri di più: http://spkl.io/6046APz1e © Maris Mezulis #1roof #architecture #geneva #herzogdemeuron #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Are we about to enter a rare earths super-cycle? Rare earth elements – such as scandium and neodymium – are key ‘transition materials’, needed for the electric turbines, motors and batteries that are underpinning the transition from fossil fuels to renewably generated energy. Though rare earths are not rare, they are hard to extract, and today’s market is dominated by China, which mines 70% of the global supply and processes 90%. With demand set to double to 240,000 tonnes annually by 2030, this is creating a supply threat – recent export restrictions from China prompted price hikes and industry disruption. As governments push to secure rare earths supply chains, investors will discover opportunities in expanded mining and processing facilities; innovations in cleaner, more efficient recycling; and even in new technologies that sidestep the need for rare earths altogether.

What do recent tax relief cuts mean for entrepreneurs in the UK? The UK’s capping of longstanding Business Property Relief and Agricultural Property Relief rates leaves many entrepreneurs and farmers – who might previously have expected to pass on their business to their heirs free of inheritance tax – facing the prospect of leaving behind potentially crippling tax bills. In response, some entrepreneurs are considering an early business sale – others are planning to gift their business to heirs during their lifetime. An increase in lifetime gifting makes family governance and succession planning all the more important – to give businesses the best chance of long-term success and ensure sufficient distribution for founders after their exit.

How green is your ice cream? Food production is responsible for one quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. Though ice cream is just a tiny part of that, its reliance on the dairy sector means it has an outsized impact, especially when it comes to methane emissions. Italian gelato giant Sammontana is changing that, leading the industry in cutting emissions from energy and food inputs, slashing waste, and shifting to circular business models – already the company has achieved 98% waste recovery; their vegan Amando gelato cuts CO₂2e emission by 32%; and they are set to use only 100% renewable energy by 2027. Their holistic approach to sustainability touches every layer of the value chain – from farm to freezer – creating a blueprint for the wider food industry, as they aim to produce ice cream where every scoop contributes to a cooler, cleaner economy.

Which books are inspiring Lombard Odier’s leaders this summer? In the second instalment of LO Summer Reads, Frédéric Rochat, Managing Partner at Lombard Odier, shares a thought-provoking book that’s given him pause this season: What Went Wrong with Capitalism by Ruchir Sharma. This compelling analysis explores how excessive government intervention has contributed to slower growth, widening inequality, and eroding trust. “Sharma offers a clear, data-driven perspective on the global economy’s structural challenges,” says Frédéric. “It’s a timely reminder that true resilience depends on strong governance, innovation, and disciplined markets.” #reading #summer #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

What does the future of private banking look like? At Lombard Odier, it begins with the opening of our new global headquarters on the shores of Lake Geneva. Designed by the renowned Swiss architects @Herzog & de Meuron, this building reaffirms both our roots in Geneva and our commitment to serve clients with responsibility, expertise, care, and conviction – while bringing all our Geneva-based colleagues together under one roof.

Facing America, Switzerland keeps its destiny in its own hands. As China and Germany slowed, Switzerland diversified exports toward the US, now its main market outside the EU. But dependence on American consumers has proven a double-edged sword. The new 39% US tariff on Swiss goods, far above the EU and Japan rates, poses real challenges. While gold and pharmaceuticals remain exempt, tariffs still hit around 3.5% of Swiss GDP. Switzerland has few negotiating levers left, but its economy has shown remarkable resilience. With strong fiscal room, long-term investment in energy, infrastructure and defense could prove more effective than negative rates in sustaining growth. The road ahead may be uncertain, but Swiss adaptability has always been its greatest asset. Read more here: http://spkl.io/6045AOHP9 @Le Temps #switzerland #tarrifs #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

Quanto è “green” il tuo gelato? Il settore alimentare è responsabile di un quarto delle emissioni globali di gas serra. Anche se il gelato rappresenta solo una piccola frazione di questo totale, la sua forte dipendenza dal comparto lattiero-caseario gli conferisce un impatto particolarmente rilevante, soprattutto in termini di emissioni di metano. Sammontana - il gigante italiano del gelato - sta tracciando una nuova rotta, guidando il settore nella riduzione delle emissioni legate all’energia e alle materie prime, nella lotta agli sprechi e nella transizione verso modelli di business circolari. L’azienda ha già raggiunto un recupero dei rifiuti del 98%, il suo gelato vegano Amando riduce del 32% le emissioni di CO₂ e si è impegnata a utilizzare esclusivamente energia 100% rinnovabile entro il 2027. Il loro approccio olistico alla sostenibilità coinvolge ogni fase della filiera – dalla fattoria al freezer – offrendo un modello replicabile per l’intera industria alimentare, con l’obiettivo di produrre un gelato in cui ogni cucchiaio contribuisca a un’economia più fresca e pulita.

How can investors harness the ‘real economy’ with private assets? Speaking at a recent conference highlighting the strategic role private assets can play in portfolio allocation, Thierry Célestin, Head of Private Assets Client Services at Lombard Odier, told delegates that private assets offer diversification and resilience in times of heightened economic volatility. With more than 85% of the economy consisting of unlisted assets, the sector gives privileged access to the real economy and new growth areas such as AI and the clean energy transition. Though private assets performance has been more challenging in recent years, the bigger picture is that private assets have a strong record of enhancing portfolio returns over the long term, Thierry Célestin explained.
