August 2025

Today we celebrate our National Day – a perfect time to honour a country that prefers a steady marathon pace over sprinting in the globalisation race. Switzerland moves with the calm confidence of a mountain hiker who knows well that not every trend needs chasing to reach the summit.

The past year has shown us that the era of rapid globalisation is over. Instead, we live in a world more focused on regional connections and complex geopolitics. Yes, discussions about our relationship with the EU continue – as engaging as a well-melted fondue. We stir, we debate; sometimes the process is slow, but ultimately, everyone wants the flavours to blend perfectly.

Steady Craftsmanship Over Sudden Storms

In the independent wealth management market, there have been no sudden tech storms; instead, there has been solid Swiss craftsmanship. Personal advice, tailored solutions, and genuine trust remain key ingredients. Flexibility? Absolutely! Because who wants to stumble through shallow waters with a rigid colossus?

Why Steady Steps Still Win

Of course, we are not immune to the ups and downs of world politics, but that is precisely our strength: staying calm, applying pragmatism, and preferring steady steps to rushing headlong. Values such as reliability, discretion, and independence are not just words here—they are lived realities.

Today, dear Switzerland, we celebrate you: with a wink, a down-to-earth spirit, and a clear commitment – independence is and remains our greatest treasure. And that is more than enough reason to enjoy the cheese fondue on 1 August 2025!
