To mark the anniversary, CEO Pius Zgraggen and Chairman of the Board of Directors Dr. Andreas Jacobs looked back on the last quarter of a century. They highlighted how OLZ AG has continuously developed – from its beginnings to its current position as an independent investment specialist. One thing became clear: change was and is part of our DNA. And yet we will remain true to our three principles in the future: comprehensible, scientific, and personal. These have shaped our actions for 25 years and will continue to do so.
This was followed by a high-profile presentation by Dr. Konrad Hummler, Swiss entrepreneur, publicist, and former private banker. In his analysis, he examined the role of the US in the changing world order and ventured a look into the future. He paid particular attention to the political intentions of Donald Trump and his administration. Dr. Hummler explained that, in his opinion, Trump might not be striving to maintain the hegemonic role of the US, but rather to bring it to an end. This thesis sparked lively discussions and provided food for thought.
Another highlight was the live podcast “Börsenstrasse Fünfzehn”, moderated by Fabio Canetg. The guest was Dr. Katja Gisler, Deputy Chief Executive Officer & Head of Investment Strategy at Wellershoff & Partners Ltd. In a lively exchange, current market issues, strategic perspectives, and macroeconomic developments were examined. All of this was done in a technically sound manner, presented in an understandable way, and closely aligned with the questions of investors.
The event ended on a lighter note: Massimo Rocchi, who is celebrating 50 years on stage, provided a humorous conclusion. It was a double anniversary that fit perfectly. With subtle wit and a sharp eye, he drew attention to the peculiarities and differences of Switzerland and had the audience in stitches.
The event was rounded off with a standing lunch, which provided an opportunity for personal conversations, exchanges, and networking. This was entirely in line with our personal approach.
