At our Jersey Finance Private Wealth Conference 2022 on 27
September, thought leaders on subjects from geopolitics to
sustainability set out what recent trends mean for private wealth
advisers and their clients. Read a synopsis of the discussion
below
Lord Chris Patten, Chancellor of the University of Oxford,
highlighted key recent events, transcending the geopolitical
landscape. He suggested that increasing authoritarianism of China
and Russia, a national-level governance concern, is manifesting
into economic and financial damage.
"Ukraine is undoubtedly providing a headwind and the
Chinese Communist Party's concerns about globalisation, the
internet and urbanisation led to two damaging responses", he
said, "that mean it will be 'lucky' to achieve 2.5%
growth."
