Big tech earnings in the US have stolen a lot of headlines, but that should not distract from gains being made in other sectors and regions, says Dr Dirk Steffen, the Private Bank's EMEA CIO. “The rally this year is not solely based on artificial intelligence and big tech companies. We have also other regions joining the earnings party,” Dirk says. “It's good to see this broadening out.”US inflation data is likely to take centre stage in the week ahead, Dirk says, as it will offer “a prelude to something more important we'll get next week, when we have a look at the minutes of the last Fed meeting.” That's because markets will be looking for more information on the Federal Reserve's latest rate decision and outlook.For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.comIn Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Stock markets have had some stumbles recently, with selloffs in the technology sector followed by rapid recoveries, but the fundamentals of the AI rally have not changed, says Dr. Jacky Tang, the Private Bank's CIO for emerging markets. “The reality is these stocks have had incredible runs so far this year. So investors are constantly asking themselves whether they've become a little bit too optimistic,” Jacky says. “To me, this feels more like a market that's digesting the gains rather than a market that is losing its way.”In the week ahead, the US jobs report is likely to be the event to watch, particularly after recent debates around how much the Federal Reserve is willing to do to control inflation. “The market is obsessed with trying to figure out what the Fed would do next. And I think the jobs report is one of the biggest clues,” Jacky says. “The last payroll number came in softer than expected. So everyone is waiting to see whether it was just a temporary wobble or the start of a broader cooling trend.”For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.comIn Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Geopolitical tensions, central bank decisions and key economic data releases are all competing for investors' attention. In this week's episode of PERSPECTIVES, Markus Müller, the Private Bank's Global Head of the CIO Office and Chief Investment Officer for Sustainability, discusses the renewed Iran conflict, the outlook for inflation and growth, and what investors should watch in the week ahead.Markus notes that the Chief Investment Office's "main scenario has always been that any ceasefire will be a fragile one", while emphasising that "global fixed income markets and energy prices are still the most sensitive to day-to-day conflict development".Looking ahead, investors will be closely watching US growth and inflation data, alongside inflation readings from Europe and Japan and PMI data from China. Markus also highlights the potential longer-term implications of a possible "Super El Niño”, warning that its economic and inflationary effects could extend well beyond this year.For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.comSubscribe to Markus's “Talking Transformation” newsletter here.For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.comIn Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Second-quarter earnings got off to a strong start in the US with solid results from big banks, but now markets will be focused on what the technology hyperscalers have to say about both earnings and their spending plans, says Dr. Dirk Steffen, the Private Bank's EMEA CIO. "We're getting closer to 1 trillion, maybe in a year or so, a trillion dollars that will be spent by a handful of companies in terms of capex and tech investments,” Dirk says. “It will be very important to hear what these companies are telling us about what they're planning to do."In the fixed-income space, Dirk notes that a large wave of issuance from big technology firms earmarked for AI spending could be a factor keeping sovereign bond yields elevated. “This is leading to maybe a touch of less demand for sovereigns,” he says, noting that key market participants tend to favour corporate investment-grade bonds over their government counterparts.In the week ahead, a policy decision from the European Central Bank will be interesting to watch, even though it is widely expected that interest rates will remain unchanged. “It will be interesting to see how they judge the current situation, especially in light of the renewed rise in oil prices and what it means for European economies.”For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Hostilities flared in the Middle East last week, and oil prices took note, but not to the degree that they did when the war began, says Deepak Puri, the Private Bank's Chief Investment Officer for the Americas. “The clear transmission mechanism of those hostilities tends to be first oil and then it moves into the rates market,” Deepak says. “I think we need to live with this for some time to come.” Attention is likely to shift to corporate results as second-quarter reports start to roll in, starting this week with major US banks. “Earnings have been the brightest spot in the markets year-to-date,” Deepak says. “I'm expecting a good profitable quarter for the banks given how the quarter panned out, where we had some strong capital markets performance.”For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

The first half of 2026 saw markets power through a great deal of geopolitical uncertainty, and now earnings will be important to watch as the second half gets under way, says Christian Nolting, the Private Bank's Global Chief Investment Officer. “We are positive for the markets because we think there's still some room to go for corporate earnings,” Christian says, noting that expectations for results are still quite high.Expectations for rate increases from the Federal Reserve have softened a bit since last week's monthly jobs report, which showed slower-than-expected hiring during the month of June. In the week ahead, Christian says he'll be keeping an eye on German factory orders data, as well as figures on Chinese inflation.

Most investors think real estate performance comes down to the asset. At the high-net-worth level, the more important conversation is often about control. Because a deal is not just a building, a market, or a projected return. It is an operating system. Who manages the property? Who controls leasing, maintenance, marketing, resident communication, and costs at the asset level? Who can make decisions quickly when the market tightens, and the assumptions in the original deck no longer hold? That is where real estate investing starts to look very different. A lot of investors were comfortable allocating capital during the easy-money years because deals looked strong, liquidity was flowing, and exits felt predictable. But in a tighter market, the difference between passive ownership and true operating control becomes much more obvious. In this episode of Money School Elite, I sit down with Michael Pouliot of Carbon Real Estate Investments to talk about workforce housing, vertical integration, AI, capital raising, and what real estate operators need to get right in the current cycle. Michael brings a rare combination of Wall Street training, real estate operating experience, and long-term ownership thinking. This is not a conversation about chasing yield or finding the next hot deal. It is about how serious investors should evaluate structure, execution, risk, and time horizon before they put capital to work. About the Guest Michael Pouliot is the CIO of Carbon Real Estate Investments, where he helps acquire and operate workforce apartment communities across the Southeast, with a focus on 100–300 unit B/C-class properties in secondary markets where institutional capital rarely competes. Michael brings a rare combination of Wall Street training and hands-on real estate operating experience. As a CFA and CAIA charterholder, he spent his early career analyzing distressed assets for Blackstone, Merrill Lynch, and notable family offices, as well as allocating capital for J.P. Morgan's Private Bank. Over the past 15 years, he has built institutional-grade underwriting and operational systems for middle-market multifamily investments. That combination of analytical rigor and operating discipline has helped generate 20%+ IRRs across 15+ repositioned assets, more than 3,000 units, and over $75 million in equity successfully deployed and managed. At Carbon, Michael and his team focus on acquiring underperforming workforce apartment communities in Sunbelt secondary markets. They create value through vertical integration, professional management, capital-efficient renovations, and disciplined operations.

Uncertainty around the ultimate impact of AI on various business models has led to a degree of uneven stock performance, but there are certain sectors that could lead, says Deepak Puri, the Private Bank's Chief Investment Officer for the Americas. “We remain bullish on technology, communication services, industrials, materials, and healthcare.”There has been some complacency in energy markets since peace negotiations began between the US and Iran, Deepak argues, noting the need for damaged infrastructure to be repaired before oil flows can resume earlier levels. In the week ahead, “I think the focus will be squarely on the non-farm payroll reports,” he says, though he also points to a meeting in Portugal on central banking, where US Fed chief Kevin Warsh and European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde are both scheduled to speak.For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

A relief rally followed the US-Iran preliminary peace deal, as “the agreement provides a clear relief for global energy markets”, says Dr. Jacky Tang, the Private Bank's CIO for emerging markets – though he notes that any stumbles in the peace process “could quickly reverse the recent decline in oil prices and also bring volatility back in the global markets.”Meanwhile, the first Federal Reserve policy decision under Chairman Kevin Warsh revealed a more hawkish position in light of recent inflation concerns. “While the Fed continues to signal a gradual easing path further out, I think the expected timing and the pace of the cut will be delayed to the first quarter of next year”, Jacky says.In light of this, an important item on this week's data calendar will be the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, though Jacky says he will also be keeping an eye on measures of business activity in the US and Europe.For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Record-topping IPOs in the technology sector do not necessarily mean it is time to radically alter portfolios, says Dr. Jacky Tang, the Private Bank's CIO for emerging markets. "I would be a bit cautious about assuming a mechanical rotation out of existing technology leaders. These companies remain highly cash generative and also central to index construction,” Jacky says. “I think any shift is more likely to be gradual and selective rather than an unexpected and very sudden move.”And while energy prices have remained elevated amid the Iran war, weaker demand from China has kept the price shock in check to some degree. “If Chinese import demand returns meaningfully, whether because inventories need to rebuild or domestic demand stabilises, I think that could tighten the global market again and also create a second round upward move in oil.”Policy decisions from central banks in the US and Japan will be important developments to watch this week, Jacky says. “The key shift in markets may be that the global easing narrative has largely faded, and policy is now moving into a more cautious phase. I think what matters most may be whether the major central banks are all tightening or holding policy at a restrictive level at the same time.”For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

He left that institutional track to build a consumer fintech company, splitting time between Hong Kong and San Francisco.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-yu-fung-tam/
Markets are expecting the European Central Bank to lift interest rates this week, but rates may still have higher to go, says Markus Müller, the Private Bank's head of the CIO office and Chief Investment Officer for Sustainability. “The inflation pressures are real, as we can see in the data, and not just in Europe”, Markus says, adding that the US central bank is less likely to raise rates, but potential rate cuts could be pushed out further into the future.Stocks, meanwhile, should continue to rise, so long as inflationary forces remain reasonably controlled, Markus says. “We see room for further equity gains over the next 12 months”, noting that earnings growth has become broad-based across sectors.Aside from the ECB decision, inflation reports in both the US and China will be of interest, Markus says, noting that rising prices in China are being taken as offering views into the behaviour of Chinese consumers and the country's domestic economy in general. “So a sharp fall here could be seen as a warning bell of underlying economic problems.” For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

In this week's podcast, Christian Nolting, the Private Bank's Global Chief Investment Officer, comments on how markets have endured a great deal of uncertainty around the Middle East conflict without becoming overly reactive. “I think the really good news is that the markets have reacted in a very rational way,” he says, noting that interest-rate expectations are still shifting as a result. “Even if we see the Strait of Hormuz opening up, we expect the ECB will probably still hike rates on June 11."The rate outlook is closely tied to inflation forecasts, for both central banks and consumers, he continues. “If you see higher prices at a fuel station or in a supermarket, then your inflation expectations go higher. And that's literally happening immediately." However, he adds, this has not yet fed into a long-term negative outlook.In the week ahead, the US Jobs Report is likely to be of particular importance, as markets could be sensitive to evidence that the economy is running either too hot or too cold. “I think a boring number would be best from a market perspective,” Christian says, as it would sidestep both increased inflation risks and evidence of an economic downturn.For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.comIn Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Stock markets and bond markets are being swayed by different forces to a considerable degree, says Deepak Puri, the Private Bank's Chief Investment Officer for the Americas. “For equity markets, AI is the main story. For bond markets, it's what's happening to energy prices.” The technology sector is likely to continue its leadership of equity markets, Deepak says, noting that AI infrastructure spending is having outsized benefits for data centres and other elements of that ecosystem. Bond markets however are contending with the energy price shock of the Iran war and its feed-through effects on inflation and central-bank policies.The Private Bank recently held its quarterly CIO Day, when it updates its 12-month forecasts for markets and the economy, and “there was a big focus on the energy supply shock that's going across the globe”, Deepak says. Growth expectations for the US were lowered for 2026 as a result, and consumer demand in the eurozone is likely to come under pressure from higher prices. But US corporate earnings are also expected to rise, so the S&P 500 target for mid-2027 received an upgrade.For the week ahead, “on the economic front, it's an inflation week,” Deepak says, noting that the Fed's preferred inflation gauge is due in the US, May flash inflation data is due for the eurozone, and Japan will also report on price rises.For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.comIn Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

The Private Bank's CIO team has named its base case scenario for the Middle East conflict a "fragile ceasefire", says emerging markets CIO Dr. Jacky Tang. "We expect the majority of oil and gas flows to normalise by the end of the second quarter, although with recurring disruptions and heightened geopolitical risk premiums”, Jacky says. “In this scenario, oil prices could likely ease, while volatility remains structurally elevated.”In the coming week, Jacky says that US inflation figures will be of particular importance, as markets look for evidence that the jump in energy prices is spreading to other parts of the economy in a "second-round inflation effect". Markets will also be watching for the messaging that emerges from the planned meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi, Jacky says. "What is important for the market is that any de‑escalation signals, or an extension of existing trade truces, would help minimise the downside risks to global growth when inflation is already being supported by higher oil and gas prices."For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

All Things Sustainable is the official podcast of the first-ever Climate Week Zurich taking place May 4-9, and all week we're bringing you special daily episodes from Zurich. In our second episode of the week, we're talking to Switzerland-based EFG International, a global private banking and asset management group. We sit down on the sidelines of Climate Week Zurich with Melanie Beyeler, the bank's Global Head of Sustainable Investing. Melanie outlines the landscape for sustainable finance and where she sees continued investment opportunities. "If you listen to the market chatter, you might think that sustainable investing is out of fashion, there is hardly any demand left — but then if you look at the data, you get a very different picture," she says. "For us, sustainable investing starts with a very practical question: What will the world need more of in the future, and which companies are well-positioned to provide it?" Melanie says companies need to treat sustainability as a strategic management tool to build value. "If sustainability is only done for the photo opportunity, for the annual report, you will always struggle to justify the cost," she says. "But if it's used to make the business more efficient, more resilient, better prepared for the future — then the case becomes much, much stronger." The All Things Sustainable podcast will be back with more special coverage from Climate Week Zurich throughout the week, so please stay tuned.

The S&P 500 in April had its strongest showing since the Covid vaccine breakthrough, says Deepak Puri, the Private Bank's Chief Investment Officer for the Americas. "Both from a macro and corporate earnings perspective, things look great," Deepak says, noting that a lot of institutional investors shifted to more bullish positions during the month.First-quarter US GDP data also showed strength, but "what really matters to the market is what was driving that growth, and that's where it is good news", Deepak says, noting that business spending surged in the quarter in an extension of the AI capex boom.In the week ahead, "we are going to get the most important labour market statistic, which is the nonfarm payroll data”, Deepak says. Consumer data, in the form of both sentiment surveys and results from companies that are sensitive to consumer activity, will be of interest, but Deepak says the price of oil will remain "front and centre" for markets so long as the Iran conflict remains unresolved.For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

The first wave of earnings reports suggest that companies do not expect the Middle East conflict to linger, says Christian Nolting, the Private Bank's Global Chief Investment Officer. "Companies are saying that they are impacted, but the outlook is that this might not take forever," Christian says. "The bar is still quite high for companies to deliver." Meanwhile, none of the big central banks are expected to adjust interest rates this week, with decisions due from the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the Bank of Japan. But markets are beginning to factor the Iran conflict into rate forecasts, with the possibility of a slower path of Fed rate cuts and a potential ECB rate increase down the road.For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Earnings season is underway in the US, and the focus will shift this week from financial services to big technology companies, notes Markus Müller, the Private Bank's head of the CIO office and Chief Investment Officer for Sustainability. Earnings expectations are high, and that “makes disappointment possible, so some caution is wise”, Markus says, but that is “unlikely to disrupt the underlying positive sentiment."Markets continue to move on headlines around the Iran conflict, but even a workable peace solution might not lead to an immediate normalisation of trading activity. “It will take a long time to get back to normal," Markus says. In the week ahead, "markets are likely to pay attention to earnings releases... and depending on what happens, Iran developments."Over the longer term, the Iran conflict may have a lasting impact on the way the world views energy supplies. "This situation shows how dangerous dependencies can be," Markus says. “The Iran crisis has underlined these dangers, especially on limited resources like hydrocarbon imports and governments' limited ability to stop domestic energy price spikes."For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Markets bounced higher when the Iran ceasefire took place, but the situation remains uncertain, and many assets are likely to remain volatile, says Dr. Jacky Tang, the Private Bank's emerging markets CIO. "What we are probably getting here is a fragile stabilisation, not a clean resolution”, Jacky says. “So even if the ceasefire holds on paper, markets will still want proof that things are working in practice.” He says oil prices are likely to remain above pre-conflict levels until markets see practical evidence that the Strait of Hormuz has reopened, in the form of things like tanker traffic and insurance availability.Central banks are likely to remain cautious while they wait to see what the inflation picture looks like as energy prices feed through the economy, Jacky says, though that will not necessarily mean a U-turn on policy.Meanwhile, corporate earnings season for the first quarter is about to kick off, and Jacky says that what companies have to say about their businesses may be at least as important to markets as whether they hit their targets. "Going into this Q1 earnings season, I think the numbers still look pretty decent. Expectations for revenue and profit growth are still holding up pretty well at this point."For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Oil prices will remain volatile as long as the outcome of the Middle East conflict is unclear, says Dr Jacky Tang, the Private Bank's emerging markets CIO. “The best way to frame oil right now is that we are in a market dominated by headlines, but not by conviction”, Jacky says. “Our sense is that oil is still carrying a meaningful geopolitical premium, and the market is not prepared to take that premium out unless they see something more than a proposal on paper.”The fallout from the conflict will also likely extend to assets beyond energy. “For equities, the key message is that lower valuations alone do not guarantee safety”, Jacky says, noting that there could be a divergence in performance between companies that can pass on price increases and those that are less able. In the week ahead, Jacky says that data on the mood amongst consumers will be important to watch. “I would watch macro releases mainly for signs that the geopolitical shock is starting to leak into consumer behaviour.”For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Energy prices have continued to jump, but that might not be a lasting effect of the Middle East conflict – if the fighting doesn't spread, says Markus Müller, the Private Bank's head of the CIO office and Chief Investment Officer for Sustainability. “A prolonged disruption of oil supply from the Gulf remains unlikely as historically such blockades are difficult to sustain”, Markus says. “Energy markets could swing on any headline, but at the same time we're mindful that geopolitical shocks historically tend to cause short-lived market turbulence.”A series of policy decisions from central banks last week meanwhile suggested that they will be keeping an eye on economic data before making any moves to cut rates. “Overall, it seems fair to say that central banks are likely to stay cautious for a while yet”, Markus says. In the week ahead, he says he'll be watching for European data on the mood among consumers, and for the results of Treasury auctions in the US.For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Markets remain focused on the Middle East, and there are risks that the dislocations in energy prices could linger even if the fighting soon cools, says Deepak Puri, the Private Bank's Chief Investment Officer for the Americas. “The oil disruption actually may be much longer with the markets than the physical conflict", Deepak says, noting that oil transport has been a major concern, but that production facilities in the region have also been harmed. The inflationary pressures of energy prices are likely to affect central banks as well, Deepak says, with decisions due this week from the US Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England. "There has already been a sharp repricing in Fed rate expectations", Deepak says, with fewer rate cuts expected in the near term. He also said that US bond auctions will be important to watch this week, as well as movements in the interest rate on 10-year Treasury bonds.For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

The week ahead will include a wealth of economic data, though most of that could be drowned out by the escalating conflict in the Middle East, says Dr. Jacky Tang, the Private Bank's emerging markets CIO. "The Middle East will remain the dominant narrative driver for day-to-day price action, but this week's economic data provides key cross-checks on whether we are facing a pure inflation shock, a growth shock, or both," Jacky says.He also notes that history has shown that the impacts of even major conflicts on markets tend to be fleeting. “Geopolitical events have rarely had a lasting effect on global stock markets unless they had significant economic impact. So far, our outlook for equity markets remains positive,” Jacky says, pointing to safe haven demand for government bonds, and the possibility of higher gold prices and a firmer US dollar.But even if economic data won't be top of mind this week, Jacky points to some important reports due, including the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge. “We think the Fed could stay on hold in the next few months and monitor closely the inflation trends.”For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Strong results from major technology hyperscalers recently did not make much of an impression on stock markets, says Dr. Jacky Tang, the Private Bank's emerging markets CIO. "We believe there's still long-term confidence in the big technology platforms, particularly around AI and cloud. But the scale of investment required to sustain that leadership has risen sharply", Jacky says. “The mood, I would say, is constructive but disciplined, with markets looking for clearer evidence that today's investment cycle delivers durable returns.”As for this week's important economic data, “U.S. non-farm payrolls sit at the top of the list this week. That's the data point that really anchors the market's view on the Fed”, Jacky says. He also points to ongoing developments in trade policy as important to watch.For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Philanthropy is changing — and donors are changing with it. In this episode of What Donors Want, we speak with Isabelle Hayhoe, Senior Philanthropy Adviser at Barclays Private Bank, about new research exploring how high-net-worth individuals in the UK are approaching giving today. Drawing on insights from their report The Modern Philanthropist, the conversation reveals a clear shift: today's donors are becoming more intentional, more informed, and more engaged in the causes they support. Philanthropy is moving beyond transactions toward deeper partnerships between donors and the organisations they fund. We explore: - What today's major donors are really looking for from charities - Why strategic advice and relationships matter more than ever - How donors are contributing more than money, and what this means for fundraisers and nonprofit leaders If philanthropy used to be about writing cheques, today it's increasingly about participation, collaboration, and long-term change.
The US Supreme Court ruled that a broad swath of President Trump's tariffs are illegal, but there is still much to sort out after the decision, says Deepak Puri, the Private Bank's Chief Investment Officer for the Americas. “It's not the time to really change your asset allocation or portfolio construction, because I feel that a lot of this was already sort of baked into the market reaction,” Deepak says. “I don't think last Friday's decision really rules out or addresses the issue of potential refunds, which is what the market really wants more clarity on. But if made, those refunds could total around $170 billion. So there might be some uncertainty there.” In the week ahead, some key earnings reports are likely to get a lot of attention, Deepak says. “The bulk of the fourth-quarter earnings is behind us, but still some of the key players are going to be reporting this week” he says, noting some major technology names. But for the year ahead, “The key question is going to be whether the trend of the strongest earnings growth that we have seen in the technology sector stays with us in 2026.”For more investing insights, please visit wealth.db.com.In Europe, Middle East and Africa as well as in Asia Pacific this material is considered marketing material, but this is not the case in the U.S. No assurance can be given that any forecast or target can be achieved.

Cherry and Jackie Cummings Koski stress that honest, ongoing conversations about money, before and during life transitions, are non-negotiable. Building shared financial goals, scheduling regular money meetings, and understanding differences in financial background ("money genealogy") help partners maintain unity and autonomy. "If you agree that the household is the mission, you can better understand each other's paths," emphasizes Preston D. Cherry. 2. Preparing for a Career Pivot Means More Than the Numbers Mariko Gordon explains that major changes like launching a business demand both runway and emotional readiness. She highlights the importance of clarity around your cash flow, having a contingency plan, and not feeling like a failure if you need to pause or pivot, "sometimes you don't have to commit financial scorched earth devastation." Jacqueline "JaQ" Campbell adds that curating a personal board of directors and mentors is just as critical as financial systems. 3. Multi-Generational Support Requires Boundaries and Education For those "sandwiched" between supporting children and aging parents, Jacqueline "JaQ" Campbell and Jackie Cummings Koski agree that prioritizing your own retirement and empowering others through financial literacy are keys to sustainable support. Rather than being an ATM, strive to be your parents' and children's CFO: educate, plan, and let loved ones learn through their own financial decisions. 4. Navigating Solo Transitions: Give Yourself Grace Loss and divorce are as much emotional events as financial ones. Jackie Cummings Koski and Jacqueline "JaQ" Campbell underline the necessity of seeking support, taking time to process grief, and acting strategically, updating financial documents, gathering your advisory team, and setting new goals. Preston D. Cherry shares, "Allow yourself the space to heal… you don't need permission to take it for yourself." Call-to-Action Pick one transition, current or upcoming, and write down the single next financial action that would bring you more stability. This week, take that first step, whether it's organizing documents, reviewing beneficiaries, or scheduling a money conversation. Progress starts with one action!

In this episode I sit down with Ben Kelly, a former Army intelligence officer who learned inside JP Morgan how real wealth is built and then applied that blueprint to small-business acquisitions. We break down using other people's money with SBA 7(a) loans, what lenders really underwrite, and why accounting firms trade at 1x revenue but can exit at 10 to 12x EBITDA in a rollup. Ben shares how AI increases margins without replacing CPA signatures, plus his own alternative cash-flow plays—from luxury assets and short-cycle supercar deals to semi-truck fleets with powerful tax write-offs. We finish with the hard truth most founders miss: build the foundation as fast as you build the portfolio, and anchor the whole thing to purpose and faith. About Ben KellyBen Kelly is a former U.S. Army Intelligence Officer turned entrepreneur and acquisition specialist. After transitioning from the military into JP Morgan's Private Bank, Ben discovered the strategy ultra-wealthy clients used to grow net worth: business acquisitions.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 351, published last December 4, 2013. Kevin Armstrong is the former Chairman of the ANZ Group's Regional Investment Committee and former chief investment officer for ANZ Group's private bank. He's the author of, "BULLS, BIRDIES, BOGEYS & BEARS: The Remarkable & Revealing Relationship Between Golf & Investment Markets." Armstrong explains how the rises and falls in the fortunes of professional golfers, and the emergence and decline of major stars such as Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, reflected the ebb and flow of the stock market. The answer provides a unique and powerful connection between golf and investment markets. The ‘pulses' of two totally separate activities, golf and investing, have been so synchronized and connected, not just in modern times, but throughout history, and in a manner not found in any other sport?
