Ethan Blatti, Chief Operating Officer of Hans Blatti, was invited as a speaker at a startup exhibition in Switzerland. In front of a packed room of founders, investors and innovation leaders, he shared his perspective on a question everyone in finance is asking: what does generative AI really change?
From hype to real value
Ethan walked the audience through concrete use cases, faster document analysis, sharper reporting, better preparation of investment committees, while being clear about the limits. Technology accelerates the work; it does not replace judgement, discretion or responsibility.
“AI can read a thousand pages in a second. It cannot earn the trust of a family. That part will always be human.”

Innovation inside a regulated framework
As a FINMA-authorised portfolio manager supervised by OSFINcontrol AG, Hans Blatti applies the same discipline to innovation as to investing. Every new tool is assessed for data protection, confidentiality and compliance before it ever touches client information.
Why we show up at startup events
Many of the families we serve are entrepreneurs themselves. Staying close to the startup ecosystem keeps us connected to the ideas, companies and people shaping tomorrow’s economy, and lets us bring that insight back to the families who trust us with their wealth.
We warmly thank the organisers and everyone who attended for an inspiring exchange.
