Cryptocurrencies are not currencies in the everyday sense of the word, like the Swiss franc or the euro. A growing number of market participants see them rather as constituting a separate asset category. This asset category has attracted an ever-increasing number of followers in recent years. The term “cryptocurrencies” now encompasses several thousand digital tokens. In a market environment that remains fairly opaque and quite emotive, investors need to find their way around the many different providers and news sources while also overcoming the technical hurdles associated with investments in cryptocurrencies.

On Thursday, 25 June 2020, the webinar “Cryptocurrencies – the money of the future” took place in which our experts of the Crypto Desk introduced the new realm, explained some of the latest challenges and presented our solutions to them.

Should you like to receive the recording or presentation of the webinar, please do not hesitate to contact your contact person, or send us an email.

An extraordinary gourmet evening for the benefit of the Schweizer Tafel: The Baur au Lac and its top chefs prepare specialities from food, delivered on the day from the Schweizer Tafel. They will show us that excellent dishes can be prepared from products that have been sorted out of the trade. The funds of the evening will be donated to the Schweizer Tafel, which collects surplus, impeccable food and distributes it free of charge to 450 social institutions that care for people affected by poverty in Switzerland. It thus builds a bridge between abundance and deprivation.

What does the future of the art market look like? While other industries, such as music and publishing, are fundamentally changed by digitalisation, the art market, based on trust and expertise, seems to resist digital disruption longer. "Will digital technology make the art market more open," asked the New York Times half a year ago. The answer has not yet been forthcoming. Since 2019, Maerki Baumann has supported the Kunstforum Zürich with a grant, which promotes the revival and enrichment of Zurich as an art location through debates and conferences.

Our event «Economic and Market Perspectives» with our Chief Investment Officer (CIO), Gérard Piasko, will show you the important trends and developments for 2019. What will be crucial for the different asset classes? Where will volatilities increase? And why? We give you answers and perspectives on the important asset classes and market themes.

Our event on the occasion of "Paavo Järvi conducts Messiaen" in the Tonhalle Maag offers you an unforgettable musical concert evening. Paavo Järvi is particularly committed to the music of Olivier Messiaen. He conducts two of his early works, which focus on mysticism and religion. In "Les offrandes oubliées" Messiaen deals with the mystery of the Eucharist in a "symphonic meditation", while with "Le tombeau resplendissant" he wanted to give the faithful of the 20th century "a kind of blessing". Beethoven raised expectations with his first symphony, which he subsequently more than fulfilled. Mozart, on the other hand, had nothing to prove when he wrote his last violin concerto in A major.

In our seminar we will give you an overview of the technology of the block chain (distributed ledger technology), its functionality and applications, especially those of virtual currencies. You will gain an insight into the classification of these developments in the existing law and the need for new rules. Furthermore, we would like to discuss with you the new financing form Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and its legal registration.

Our event "Perspectives" with our new Chief Investment Officer (CIO), Gérard Piasko, covers not only the main trends in the global economy, but also in the markets themselves and the trends for the development of the major asset classes. We provide answers and perspectives for all major investment classes, equities, bonds, currencies and commodities.
