2025-02-06 00:00
AN ECONOMIC UPDATE WITH HYPOSWISS PRIVATE BANK – WEDNESDAY MARCH 5TH 2025
The economic environment of the past two years has been characterized by “US Exceptionalism”. The US Economy achieved better growth, higher productivity and more progress in corporate profits than the rest of the world.
We will look at the factors underpinning this divergent performance and discuss the possible influence of the policies pursued by the newly emboldened Trump administration (deregulation, tariffs, fiscal policy) going forward.
We will end with a few recommendations on the construction of investement portfolios and offer some thoughts on the role of crypto assets and generative AI related investement in this context.

PRÉVISION ECONOMIQUE: LE MONDE SE DIRIGE-T-IL VERS LA TRUMPLATION? - GENÈVE
2025-10-09 08:00 - 09:30 | Fédération des Entrepries Romandes, 98, rue de Saint-Jean, Geneva, 1211, Switzerland
PRÉVISION ÉCONOMIQUE AVEC NIKOLAY MARKOV, ECONOMIST SÉNIOR CHEZ PICTET ASSET MANAGEMENT

Le retour du président Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche a rapidement déstabilisé l’économie mondiale. Ses menaces tarifaires intermittentes, utilisées comme tactique de négociation musclée pour imposer sa volonté en matière de politique étrangère, vont à l’encontre de l’orthodoxie économique. En mars dernier, Nikolay Markov avait averti que le Canada et, dans une moindre mesure, la Suisse, pourraient voir leur PIB diminuer en raison des nouveaux droits de douane imposés sur leurs exportations vers les États-Unis.
Après plusieurs rebondissements, les dés sont jetés et deux des alliés traditionnellement les plus fidèles des États-Unis se retrouvent soumis à certains des droits de douane les plus élevés dans le cadre de la guerre commerciale apparemment arbitraire menée par le président Trump : le Canada avec des droits de douane de 35 % sur une large gamme de produits et la Suisse avec des droits de douane de 39 %.
Rejoignez-nous pour un petit-déjeuner-conférence passionnant et découvrez ce que cela signifie pour le Canada, la Suisse, les États-Unis et le reste du monde.

Mind the Gap: Mastering Your Financial Future
2026-03-19 18:00 - 20:00 | Flexoffice Prime Tower, Hardstrasse 201, Zurich, 8005, Switzerland
Mind the gap: Mastering your financial future
An after-work workshop with Nadine Hunkeler, CFP® & Julia Tatje

Let’s be honest: for many professionals in Switzerland, pension benefits alone won’t be enough to support the lifestyle they envision for retirement. The first and second pillars typically replace around 50–60% of your final salary while maintaining your standard of living often requires closer to 80–90%. That gap? It’s real. And without planning, it can quietly grow.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to.

With a clear strategy, the Swiss 3-pillar system can become a powerful tool: helping you close that gap through smart structuring, disciplined investing, and tax-efficient decisions.

Join Nadine Hunkeler, Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and founder & CEO of Finance Phoenix, together with Julia Tatje, Founder & CEO of taxum Personal Tax Boutique, for an engaging after-work workshop that cuts through complexity and brings clarity to Swiss pension planning and its tax implications.

Combining expertise in financial planning and taxation, Nadine and Julia offer a holistic perspective on building long-term wealth — showing how thoughtful coordination between investments and taxes can make a meaningful difference over time. Expect practical insights, common pitfalls to avoid, and a framework that helps you make confident decisions about your financial future.

Clear, practical insights — without unnecessary complexity.

What to expect:

Financial Wheel – understanding your personal risk and opportunities
Why the pension gap is real — and what you can do about it
How to use the Swiss 3-pillar system strategically
Key tax considerations that support long-term wealth building
Common financial mistakes — and how to avoid them
Practical steps you can apply immediately
