Uli Sigg on building one of the world’s largest collections of contemporary Chinese art
Uli Sigg first encountered the Chinese art scene back in the late 1970s, when he first visited the country. Over the next few years, that initial curiosity became a genuine passion, a passion which drove Uli to start collecting contemporary Chinese art throughout the 80s and 90s, as he served as Switzerland’s ambassador to China, Mongolia and North Korea. Today, his is one of the largest and most influential collections of Chinese art in the world. In this conversation, Uli tells Victor Aerni, CEO of PWM Asia, about what he calls his “encyclopaedic” approach to collecting and shares some advice on how to begin acquiring art and building a meaningful and coherent collection.

View morePictet Report – Kyungsun Chung on generating tangible impact with The Sylvan Group
Kyungsun Chung is one of the grandsons of Chung Ju-yung, who started out with a car-repair shop in Seoul in the 1940s and built it into the Hyundai Group, South Korea’s second-largest conglomerate behind Samsung. With that family tree beneath him, the traditional and obvious career path for Kyungsun would have been to join the family business and remain within its folds. However, instead, he has dedicated his professional life to impact investing through The Sylvan Group, the Singapore-based private-equity firm he co-founded along with Scott Jeun in 2020. Here Kyungsun explains where he thinks his preference for “stakeholder capitalism” comes from and shares some insights into why he believes family businesses are often more resilient and sustainable.

When you spend much of your time thinking about the future, you get used to not necessarily knowing the answer.

View morePaused but not halted: Kevin HASSET predicts a hard landing & ongoing inflation
Is the US on track for a soft or hard landing? A harder landing next year is the most likely outcome, says Kevin Hassett, an economist who served as the 29th Chairman of the US President’s Council of Economic Advisors.
Excess savings, built up during the pandemic, are depleting and he expects geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine to make people more risk averse, with businesses also holding back on capital spending next year in the run-up to the presidential election.
Kevin Hasset explains the economic forces driving the prospects for growth and inflation in the US going into 2024.
