Investment Management

Investor trust in collective investment schemes is once again on the rise. Market developments are increasingly determined by international trends that correspondingly affect the Swiss market. The regulatory side of investment management, in particular, is taking on clear contours and exercising a great deal of influence on the market through more rigid regulatory practices. Changes in the regulatory area represent a great challenge for the industry but also offer significant chances.

Insurance

The financial crisis has also left its mark on the insurance industry. In comparison with banks, insurers generally managed their businesses well despite the crisis and, with few exceptions, their existence was never seriously threatened. Changes within the market and regulatory areas remain a challenge for the industry – but they also represent chances. What can new and established insurers do in order to come out as winners in an economic and regulatory environment that is increasingly difficult? What are the focal points for insurers?
