Playing the long game in a short-term world
Executive summary
In an article published on Paperjam, Christophe Deltomme, Head of Pictet Wealth Management in Luxembourg, highlights Pictet’s unique model of organic growth and independence, free from the pressures of M&A or public listings.
Emphasising Luxembourg’s role as a sophisticated financial “toolbox”, Deltomme details Pictet’s long-term focus on thematic megatrends and private equity “vintage averaging” to drive performance.
As the industry prepares for a massive EUR 120 trillion generational wealth transfer, he redefines the modern banker as a “conductor” focused on diplomacy, psychological insight, and early engagement with the next generation.
