Venture Capital in Wealth Management
In search of portfolio diversification, venture capital investment stands as a very attractive solution. It ensures low correlation with equity markets and provides hefty returns. Allocating a bigger part of the portfolio to venture capital has now been a long-established practice among pioneering investment funds such as the Yale Endowment Plan.

Switzerland is on the right track to build a world-leading support platform for its startup ecosystem. With extensive support provided through incubators, accelerators, and other services to fresh companies, it is our dearest wish to make Geneva the center for venture capital investment.

Impact Investing
The technologies for the future will now allow private wealth managers to provide more efficient and more cost-effectively their higher-performing investment strategies to a larger portion of the world population.

Our industry is well aware of the massive opportunity this will provide. The forum will bring together industry leaders in the field of financial inclusion technologies and impact investing. We will learn about the latest trends in Asia and the rest of the world in technologies that provide banking facilities to a larger share of humanity. We will also learn from industry leaders about the opportunities in impact investing, technologies, their latest trends, and responsibilities.
