Swiss Alternative Investments Forum, Flashback on the #art panel 🎤 moderated and curated by: Frédéric Nizard, PhD, CEO at Frederic Nizard Asset Management AG, former Managing Director at UBS AG. 🎙Panel: Marco Antonini, ORA Art Advisory Yassir Benjelloun-Touimi – Co-Founder & CEO, ARTEX Global Markets Adam Chinn – Managing Partner, International Art Finance | Former COO, Sotheby's Thanks so much for exchanging your thoughts. This made art as an alternative investment tangible for everyone in the room! Quotes from the panel: “Alternative investments represent a structural shift, and fine art is now investable through a regulated and safe framework with real-time tradability. ARTEX AG has built this access, and institutions and investors engaging early are positioning themselves at the forefront of a rapidly evolving asset class.” – Yassir Benjelloun-Touimi, CEO at ARTEX Global Markets “Despite an established legal framework, the art market has not yet been successfully fractionalized, securitized, or tokenized. This distinguishes art from other asset classes such as equities, bonds, private equity, private debt, commodities, and real estate.” – Frédéric Nizard, PhD, CEO at Frederic Nizard Asset Management AG "Art is a unique asset class. It is rewarding and beautiful to live with, signaling the taste, interests, values and ambition of its owner, whether that is a private individual, family or company. As an Art Advisor, my priority is to guide and educate clients at all levels to art collecting -proper. That is where the real opportunity is and will remain for the foreseeable future. With the right guidance, owning and understanding artworks unlocks their full potential, not only as assets, but as vectors of a personal or corporate narrative, a way to enrich our lives by supporting culture and creativity. Anyway, I also look with interest at platforms that allow fractional ownership, for consumers to experiment with art as investment, they might help the whole sector, generating broader interest in arts and culture or helping museums obtaining collection-grade artworks for temporary display, for example." – Marco Antonini, Founder @ORA Art Advisory Jakob Schaad Dr. iur.

Silent Protection, Verified Facts: What Institutional Investors Cannot Afford to Skip In high-stakes investment environments, the difference between a profitable allocation and a catastrophic loss often comes down to one thing — what you did not know before you signed. We work with institutional investors and asset managers across Switzerland and internationally. Time and again, the same pattern emerges. A compelling opportunity. Credible principals. Strong documentation. And somewhere beneath the surface, a detail that changes everything. Our teams have uncovered: ✅ Shell company networks concealing beneficial ownership structures ✅ Undisclosed litigation histories and regulatory sanctions ✅ Fabricated credentials and forged professional backgrounds ✅ Hidden insolvencies and asset stripping by counterparties ✅ Crypto and DeFi fraud schemes dressed as legitimate investment vehicles We recently supported a UHNWI client evaluating a significant acquisition. Enhanced due diligence revealed undisclosed fraud exposure in the target company's senior leadership. The deal was restructured. Substantial losses were avoided. This is not about distrust. It is about precision. Institutional capital deserves institutional-grade verification — conducted discreetly, legally, and documented in court-admissible reports signed by licensed investigators. Our framework covers SLA, NDA, and GSTC compliance from the first engagement. Operations can begin within one hour. CHF 10 million liability insurance per case. Forbes Business Council membership. 200 years of combined investigative know-how. Silent protection is not passive. It is deliberate, methodical, and ahead of the risk. Protect your capital before the contract is signed. https://lnkd.in/em9FJyjW https://lnkd.in/d6q4X-s5 #SwissSecuritySolutions #SecurelySwiss #InstitutionalInvestors #DueDiligence #AssetProtection #PrivateInvestigator #SwissDetective #EnhancedDueDiligence #FraudPrevention #WealthProtection #AssetManagement #InvestmentRisk

Swiss wealth management just deepened its Italian footprint. Is your family’s governance ready for that table? Milan HQ NS Partners gives its Chairman direct responsibility for Italy, with leadership confirmed in Milan. Two ways Swiss capital deepens into Italy while Italian families structure for Swiss-grade governance — the bridge strengthens in both directions. Before, not after Families who build institutional-grade governance before a Swiss counterparty asks negotiate from strength, not catch-up. Strategy. Structure. Control. Governance built for the table you’re about to sit at — not the one you already know. #governance #execution #privateequity #familybusiness 🔗 Approfondimento nel primo commento.
