UBS remains optimistic about equity markets in 2025, citing three key factors: the current interest rate reduction cycle, solid earnings growth, and moderate valuations. The bank highlights opportunities not only in Big Tech but also in utilities, healthcare, and financial stocks. Maximilian Kunkel, Chief Investment Officer at UBS, emphasizes that valuations are generally not exaggerated, supporting a positive outlook for investors.
UBS investment strategist Maximilian Kunkel expresses optimism for equity markets, citing a decline in key interest rates and an increase in corporate profits as primary drivers for rising share prices. However, he acknowledges potential risks from US customs policy and rising interest rates.
The UBS Billionaire Ambitions Report, now in its 10th edition, analyzes the wealth of over 2,500 billionaires across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. This comprehensive study includes insights from an online survey of billionaire clients worldwide, revealing key trends and perspectives on wealth management. Maximilian Kunkel, UBS's chief investment officer for global family and institutional wealth, discusses the findings and implications for investors.
The UBS Billionaire Ambitions Report 2024 reveals that billionaire wealth has surged by 121% since 2015, reaching $14 trillion, with tech billionaires leading this growth. The number of billionaires increased from 1,757 to 2,682, while U.S. billionaires saw the largest gains in 2024. In Western Europe, wealth accumulation has slowed due to rising interest rates, and baby boomer billionaires are expected to transfer $6.3 trillion to heirs or charities over the next 15 years. More than 40% of billionaires plan to increase investments in real estate and equities, alongside a growing interest in gold and precious metals.
Germany is home to 117 billionaires, with a growing focus on real estate and gold as safe investments amid geopolitical risks and economic concerns. The total wealth of these billionaires has increased by 10% to $546 billion, yet only 28% are self-made, highlighting challenges for entrepreneurship in the country. Globally, the number of billionaires has stagnated, particularly in China, while female billionaires have seen significant growth, reflecting increased female participation in entrepreneurship.
