SCB Julius Baer Urges Diversification Amid Uncertainty
Published on 17/06/2025
» SCB Julius Baer Securities Co., Ltd. (SCB Julius Baer) recently hosted an exclusive “Market Outlook H2/2025” seminar under the theme “A New World Order”, tailored for Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWIs). The seminar provided insights into the global economic landscape and portfolio strategies for the second half of 2025, amid ongoing market volatility. Investors were advised to diversify beyond the US market, which continues to face stagflation risks. The recommendation is to shift allocations toward regions with more accommodative monetary policies and greater macroeconomic stability, such as Europe, Japan, and China. Notably, Europe is entering a rate-cutting cycle alongside increased government spending. In Asia, policies aimed at stimulating domestic consumption are expected to benefit domestic demand and dividend-paying stocks. The investment strategy also emphasised portfolio resilience through allocation to gold, the Swiss franc as a stable currency, and alternative assets to enhance long-term flexibility. The event featured keynote speakers including Mr. Adrian Mazenauer, Chief Executive Officer, SCB Julius Baer; Mr. Kean Tan, Managing Director Senior Advisor Head of Investment Solutions, SCB Julius Baer; Mr. Mark Matthews, Head Research Asia, Bank Julius Baer; and Mr. Bhaskar Laxminarayan, Chief Investment Officer Asia and Middle East, Bank Julius Baer.
Distinctive Highlights of The Only Thai Branded Residence: The Residences at Dusit Central Park
Published on 30/04/2025
» The concept of branded residences, a property development model paired with exceptional services, has become a hallmark of world-class real estate projects. Designed to meet diverse lifestyle needs of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) as a growing consumer segment, branded residences are rooted in history. The idea became widely known in 1927 during America’s economic heyday when a New York’s luxury apartment, The Sherry Netherland, distinguished itself by offering hotel-style management and services tailored to its residents' needs, paving the way for the branded residences we know today. According to CBRE Global, branded residences go beyond revenue strategies in real estate; they leverage brand equity to drive project sales. Developers collaborate with brands, ranging from luxury hotels to fine jewellery, to craft and deliver elevated living experiences through unparalleled quality, design, and services inherent to the brands. This approach not only meets the needs of discerning clients but also enhances property value by 25-30%. Moreover, luxury branded residences have shown remarkable growth across regions, with a 36% increase in Asia-Pacific (APAC), 77% in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), and 46% in the Americas, reflecting the surging global demand for such projects.
