“Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." Knowledge, learning and sharing comes in many forms. This week, SFi members and friends embarked on a multi-sensorial journey, engaging both their brains AND taste buds with an expert panel on our favorite topic - impact and sustainability, paired with chocolate. Thank you to Dr. Michael Urban, PhD, Lombard Odier Group's Chief Sustainability Strategist, who set the scene on nature-based solutions followed by a discussion with Michael and Dr. Entela Benz, Founder and CEO of Intensel Limited, who shared their perspectives on the impact climate change is having on food and agriculture, and the role that investment strategies and climate analytics play in shaping the future and to SFI's Director of Impact Funds & Ventures, Francesco Stadler for moderating the panel. The evening concluded with a delicious tasting experience and 101 on sustainable chocolate, led by Co-Founders of Conspiracy Chocolate, Amit Oz and Celine Herren. #sustainablefinance #impactinvesting #foodsystems #chocolate #privateinvestment #beantobar

Why do we need to shift towards a nature-based economy? The critical interconnections between nature loss, climate change and economic prosperity are highlighted by Marc Palahí, Chief Nature Officer, and Laura García Vélez, Nature Specialist at Lombard Odier Investment Managers, in a recent article that appeared in L’AGEFI, Nouvelle Agence Économique et Financière Indices and Il Sole 24 Ore. With natural ecosystems removing over 60% of human-generated carbon emissions, they call for the redirection of private capital towards business models that help preserve and regenerate the Earth’s resources. Rising demand for climate-resilient land that has a positive impact on the planet will turn nature into a new asset class and create long-term opportunities for investors.

The interest rate cycle has turned. Switzerland has cut rates – when will other countries follow suit? And what does a hike by the Bank of Japan mean for investors? We explore the dynamics and dilemmas facing central banks in major economies. While a shifting rate cycle is supporting markets, a lot of optimism is already priced into equities. Low-yielding currencies have been poor performers so far this year. We keep an overweight to the dollar and to developed market sovereign bonds, with a strategy to lock in yields and add duration as rate cuts unfold. Structurally higher ‘neutral’ interest rates also have portfolio implications – read more from our experts Homin Lee and Bill Papadakis here: http://spkl.io/604640zBk #economicoutlooks #investmentinsights #macroeconomics #rethinkperspectives #rethinkeverything #lombardodier

From this week’s #financialtimes #HTSI letter of the editor: “The most venerable star in this week's issue is Lombard Odier, the global wealth and asset management group founded in Geneva in 1796. One of the oldest private banks in the world, it received Napoleon Bonaparte and his officers as they returned from Italy in 1800 - and it's still formidable: the group had total client assets of SFr308bn (about £276.6bn) in June 2023. The bank moved to its current premises on Rue de la Corraterie in 1858, and several years ago I had the chance to visit and take part in a panel discussion about the state of luxury. Mostly, I was distracted by the uniform style of the attendees (each of whom wore a dark tie and very sober suiting), and by the building's ornate craft details. Swiss banker style was a "thing" this season, and where better to show it off than here? As the backdrop for a story about professional women's fashion ("Bank Statement", page 38), Lombard Odier lends an austere majesty to the frame.”
