The AYU Family Office Summit Switzerland

On March 5th 2026, the AYU Family Office Summit Switzerland brought together an exceptional group of family offices, investors and founders in the heart of the Swiss Alps for a day of focused investment dialogue, collaboration and new opportunity.

Hosted in an exclusive mountain setting in Gstaad, the boutique gathering welcomed family offices representing billions of dollars in investment capital alongside a carefully selected group of general partners and founders. True to the AYU philosophy, the summit was intentionally limited in size to ensure meaningful conversations, high-quality connections and tangible outcomes for all participants.

Throughout the day, family offices engaged in a series of 1-2-1 investment pitches, open networking sessions and curated discussions designed to uncover new opportunities and deepen relationships across the global investment community. A select group of alternative fund managers, founders raising capital and family offices seeking co-investment presented their strategies and ventures directly to attending family offices.

The summit also featured a series of insightful panel discussions exploring key themes shaping the investment landscape for family offices, including:

• Investing in Longevity – Personal to Planetary
• AI for Family Offices – Harnessing Power and Managing Risk
• Global Real Estate – Family Office Investment Dynamics
• Fund Selection – Navigating Alternative Investment Fund Selection
• The Unicorn Hunt – How Do Family Offices Find and Access Future Unicorns

Attendance for family offices was offered on a complimentary basis through the AYU Approved Family Office Program, ensuring all participating families had been vetted for membership and were actively seeking investment opportunities aligned with the presenting organisations. Each attending family office also shared their areas of investment focus in advance, allowing meetings and introductions to be curated for maximum relevance.

With access limited to just a small number of presenting organisations and key strategic sponsors, the summit maintained its highly curated format, creating an environment where genuine investment conversations could take place.

The event concluded with attendees looking ahead to AYU Ski 2026, taking place immediately after the summit in Gstaad, where members and guests continued the conversations and connections on the slopes.

A sincere thank you to our sponsors 3iQ, RFA, Canoe Intelligence, Landytech, Visual Abstract, ALS and Systemiq Capital for supporting the event and helping make the summit possible.
