Swiss Association & Swiss Chamber of Commerce
Joint Monthly Luncheon
8th Jan 2018 (Monday)
Guest Speaker: Mr Jean-Louis Nakamura Chief Investment Officer, Asia Pacific and Chief Executive Officer, Hong Kong Lombard Odier Group
An update on our market views for 2018
After an extremely strong year 2017, most investors are increasingly worried of a brutal market reversal. But, is this fear justified according to the global macroeconomic environment? Mr. Jean-Louis Nakamura, Chief Investment Officer for Lombard Odier Asia-Pacific, will explain to us why he believes 2018 should be a broad continuation of 2017 with reasonable dynamic growth, contained inflation and still abundant liquidity, even as major central banks withdraw their monetary support and equity valuations seem stretched compared to historical levels. He will explain the reasons why the simultaneous collapse of both safe and risky assets remains very unlikely.
