SCB-Julius Baer Securities Co., Ltd. hosted an exclusive seminar titled “Global Economic Outlook for the First Half of 2026” (Market Outlook H1/2026) under the theme “Crossroads of a Growth Renaissance”, tailored for Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWIs). The seminar highlighted key factors expected to influence investment decisions in the first half of 2026. Julius Baer views the global economic and investment landscape in 2026 as a year of “Resetting and Rebalancing” of the global financial system. One of the major turning points is the appointment of a new Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, reflecting a transition in U.S. monetary policy leadership. At the same time, policy divergence among the United States, Europe, and China is becoming increasingly pronounced, prompting investors to reassess and allocate investments across regions more carefully than ever.

SCB Julius Baer has been named “Best International Private Bank — Thailand” at the Asian Private Banker Awards for Distinction, marking our fourth consecutive year receiving this honour.

SCB Julius Baer and Baker McKenzie distinguish themselves in wealth management with a new Wealth Planning Series that uniquely brings together both current and next generation within families. Unlike typical events focused on either today’s leaders or future heirs, this series aims to foster connection and collaboration across generations.

The phenomenon of ‘The Great Wealth Transfer’ is one of the most significant economic and generational changes in the current era. A report from the Julius Baer Family Barometer predicts that a staggering $19.4 trillion will be transferred globally from one generation to the next in the coming decades. This is not merely a movement of financial figures, but the transfer of responsibility, values, and identity that will redefine the future of family businesses and the global investment landscape, especially as the majority of the heirs belong to Generation Y, who have an entirely different perspective on ‘success’ and ‘legacy’.
