Finanz’22 – PPT expresses its convictions and expertise

Once again, de Pury Pictet Turrettini actively participated in “Finanz 22” in Zurich, Switzerland’s largest financial fair, presenting innovative solutions at three conferences related to our core competencies.

The presentation “Investing in the Energy Transition” by Andreas Schneller, Fund Manager, looked back on 20 years of investing in energy, both in infrastructure and new technologies. Andreas Schneller is one of the few people who have been following this topic long before it became fashionable. In particular, he spoke about the challenges linked to the energy mix of the future, which current events show us that only an approach combining geopolitical, economic and technological dynamics will enable us to make the right choices.

Dominique Habegger, Chief Sustainability Officer, took part in the “Impact investing and Governance” panel to talk about the “Buy & Care® ” social responsibility strategy that de Pury Pictet Turrettini has been implementing since 2006. In particular, he recalled the profound differences between sustainability analysis (ESG) and impact analysis. The former seeks to better understand the impact of socio-economic parameters on the business model, while impact analysis seeks to assess the effect of the business model on society. The Buy & Care® strategy invests in companies that meet both dimensions: through the shareholder engagement practiced for 15 years, de Pury Pictet Turrettini offers investment solutions that contribute to a positive and additional impact.

Finally, Frédéric Dawance, Managing Partner, gave a detailed presentation on the “Swiss Positive Gold” fund during the “Investing in Sustainable Gold” presentation. He discussed the precarious situation of the 40 million artisanal miners and presented the demanding criteria for responsible extraction that allow this physical, traceable and responsible gold fund to follow the strictest ESG rules in the industry, while generating a positive and measurable impact on local populations and the environment.
