WealthSummit officially launched its Asian platform in Singapore on April 9, 2026, bringing together senior finance executives and decision makers for an evening of research, discussion and networking.

Held at Latteria Mozzarella Bar, the launch marked a new chapter for WealthSummit Asia. Claude Baumann, chairman, and Chris Künzle, founder and CEO, hosted the gathering and outlined upcoming research projects against the backdrop of changes reshaping the financial industry.
The expansion creates a platform for closer exchange between Switzerland and Asia’s wealth management communities. For internationally active private banks, understanding how client expectations differ across markets is increasingly relevant to business development, investment advice and long-term relationships.
A highlight of the evening was a conversation with Nirbhay Handa, CEO of Multipolitan, about his newly released book, «The Borderless Generation». The discussion brought global mobility into focus, a subject with direct implications for advisers serving clients whose lives, businesses and assets span several countries.
For these clients, wealth management extends beyond portfolio construction. Residence, family circumstances and international connections can shape both financial priorities and the expertise required from a private bank.
Multipolitan supported the launch as exclusive presenting partner, with «New Fortune Times» as media partner. The evening concluded with a networking reception and apéro riche, giving guests an opportunity to continue the discussions and establish new connections.
The Singapore launch established a local forum for WealthSummit’s combination of quantitative research and strategic dialogue, connecting industry evidence with the perspectives of the executives and entrepreneurs shaping wealth management.
