Patrick Thomson, when we last met a year ago, you emphasized how strategically important Switzerland is for J.P. Morgan Asset Management and that you were targeting further growth. How would you assess the situation today?
Very positively. We have an outstanding Country Head in Switzerland with Laura Geiger-Pancera, who, together with the team, is doing an excellent job.
Our business has continued to grow. We remain the number one player in cross-border net inflows in Europe. Both our fund business and our institutional business have developed particularly strongly.
We have also seen significant success in infrastructure investing in Switzerland recently. Infrastructure is a very good example of how asset management can simultaneously deliver attractive solutions for pension funds while also addressing broader societal challenges, such as Europe’s energy transition.
«Many investors today are looking for stability and predictability — and that is exactly what Switzerland stands for,» says Patrick Thomson. (Image: provided)
