GABA and Deutsche Bank Wealth Management are delighted to invite you to step into the future of investing! Now in its third year, this signature event features Deutsche Bank’s Chief Investment Officer, Deepak Puri, in an interactive conversation moderated by renowned financial journalist Frank Mottek.

As 2025 closes with markets showing remarkable resilience amid tariff debates and global tensions, 2026 presents both fresh opportunities and new complexities: AI-driven innovation, robust US growth, and resilient earnings set against a backdrop of persistent geopolitical risks, inflation concerns, and shifting trade dynamics.

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how disciplined diversification, active risk management, and structural growth themes can help investors navigate the year ahead. Join us as we turn uncertainty into opportunity - we look forward to welcoming you!
