Demographics, defence stocks and digital wealth management: PWM Tea Break

Louise Tumchewics, visiting fellow at the University of Southern Denmark, talks to PWM about great power competition and its geoeconomic impact on portfolios and the services of tech-led wealth managers

Over Chinese tea, she tells PWM’s Yuri Bender why private banks should develop a deep compliance offering to differentiate themselves from competitors in a world where digitalisation is increasingly turning wealth services into a commodity. With energy security now fast becoming the new ESG, she discusses the opportunities around investing in defence stocks and the demographic challenges facing a European continent fighting for political survival.
