With great pleasure, we are launching our new event series Helvetic Trust Dialogues – a forum for exchange, thought leadership, and inspiration on topics related to wealth management, societal trends, and geopolitical developments.

Topic of the opening event:

“Turning Point – The Role of the USA and the Consequences for the Economy and Society”

We live in an era of profound change. Whether geopolitical tensions, technological upheavals, or shifts in economic power – the USA plays a central role. But what does this mean for Europe, Switzerland, entrepreneurs, and investors?

Together with renowned experts, we aim to shed light on, discuss, and interpret these developments.
