Since financial markets connect the capital-seeking economy and profit-seeking investors, they are a vital component to econo ... mic growth and ultimately to the welfare of the whole society. Thus, a well-functioning capital market contributes to a major extent to Switzerland’s economic prosperity. It has become an important and integral part of our economy while connecting corporations, the public sector, consumers and investors, banks, insurance companies, security brokers as well as private or institutional asset managers, pension funds, foundations, family offices or other financial intermediaries. Furthermore, local authorities, the national bank and other actors on the financial market are depending on its stability. Unlike its stakeholders, financial markets do not have their own Forum. Thus, the main purpose of the Capital Market Forum Switzerland is to close this gap. The Forum connects decision-makers in a club atmosphere and enhances the critical dialogue between the stakeholders of the capital market, especially with regard to topics like capital market, capital market instruments and capital market funding. Since the main purpose of the forum is the well-being of capital and financial markets, the club is politically neutral. By organising events and other activities, the Forum offers decision-makers a relaxed environment to discuss current hot topics. For the greater good, the Forum aims to bring opinion-leaders together on capital market relevant topics. In order to embrace the cross-border nature of the Forum, the events will be held yearly in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. In addition, a broad scientific board guarantees a strong basis of the Capital Market Forum Switzerland, being member of its European umbrella association. read more
