Emerging Markets Masterclass Lunch
Zurich | 28th May 2025
We’re pleased to share details of our upcoming Emerging Markets Lunch taking place in Zurich at the Mandarin Oriental Savoy on Wednesday, 28th May 2025.

Join us for an exclusive opportunity to hear directly from leading Emerging Markets Economist CIO and fund managers as they share their insights, strategies, and outlook for the months ahead. This is your chance to engage with the people behind the portfolios, understand their investment philosophies, and explore where they see the most compelling opportunities in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
