Planning for unexpected situations is an important part of looking ahead. An illness, accident or loss of capacity can make it difficult to manage everyday matters or make important decisions. Without prior arrangements, even close relatives may not be able to step in. Two practical steps to consider: ✔️Set up powers of attorney and an advance care directive so trusted people can act on your behalf if needed ✔️Think about how responsibilities and assets should be handled to avoid uncertainty and unnecessary administrative burdens for your family Making arrangements early can provide clarity and peace of mind for you and those close to you.

Longevity - innovation for a healthy tomorrow The longevity megatrend is changing how we think about age, health, and opportunity. Innovations in medicine, AI diagnostics, genomics, and connected devices are helping people stay vital for longer. At the same time, the aging population is creating new opportunities in industries that support healthy aging. This “longevity economy” spans prevention, diagnostics, treatment, and everyday support. Companies that develop solutions for an aging society are seeing growing demand, and new business models are emerging to meet these needs. Strategically positioning around these shifts can turn demographic trends into long-term growth opportunities. Read the full article here: https://okt.to/9nIlmO #Vontobel

In our "Investment Insights" video series, Dr. Pascal Köppel, CFA, CFA – Chief Investment Officer and Head Investment Management Vontobel SFA – Pieter Jansen – Chief Investment Strategist Vontobel SFA – give an update about their outlook on 2026: The year ahead. In part two of the video they discuss that differences in fiscal positions and debt sustainability are becoming more relevant and may influence currency dynamics. Against this backdrop, diversification remains a key principle in asset allocation. Although equity valuations appear elevated amid the AI boom, we do not view current conditions as a bubble. With investors still holding relatively high cash balances, structurally excess cash may entail an opportunity cost over time.

Art is not something that hangs quietly in the background. It is part of our everyday environment. At our headquarters, Uto (the employees’ canteen) is a place where colleagues connect, pause, and recharge. It is also a space for creativity and inspiration. That is why the Vontobel Art Collection is present here, and why the exhibition is now receiving a new look. By rotating the works on display, we introduce fresh perspectives into a familiar setting and create ongoing opportunities to engage with contemporary photography and emerging artists throughout the year. The current presentation brings together three artistic positions: - Positive Illusions by Toronto-based artist Benjamin Freedman - Turunç by Solène Gün - Blue Magic (Anti-Breakage Formula) by James Bantone. While distinct in form and approach, the works engage with shared themes of memory, identity, and community; offering moments of reflection within the rhythm of the workday. Thank you to Georgina Casparis and her team for bringing the Collection to life in this space. Learn more about the Art Vontobel Collection: https://okt.to/cT1WG8 #ArtVontobel #ContemporaryArt

Our New York office partnered with New York Cares through the Winter Wishes program, connecting volunteers with 35 children from a school in the Bronx to help bring their holiday wishes to life. Each volunteer engaged personally with their assigned child’s wish, thoughtfully selecting gifts and sharing in the excitement of the season. Initiatives like this create meaningful opportunities to connect with our local community and experience the impact of working together. Volunteering not only supports these programs but also brings colleagues together in a shared purpose, fostering a sense of connection and teamwork. #Vontobel
