An interview with Kevin Jud

Kevin Jud has been a partner at ZWEI Wealth since March 2022. As a Wealth Office expert, he is directly involved in the management of client mandates and projects.

What made you decide to join ZWEI Wealth?

From the very first meeting with ZWEI Wealth, I was completely convinced by the concept and, above all, by the people behind it: innovative wealth management with personal advice that focuses on the individual interests of clients. ZWEI Wealth thus represents the values that I consider important for a successful collaboration. In addition, ZWEI Wealth is goal-oriented, dynamic and absolutely transparent towards all parties involved. ZWEI Wealth offers me the opportunity to prove myself in a very competitive environment and to continuously develop with the support of experienced partners.

What makes good asset management for you?

The needs, interests and goals of clients must ALWAYS come first. This is the only way to create an individual and tailor-made offering for all clients. In addition to individual support, simplicity is a second key component of good asset management for me personally. The financial industry is very complex and this complexity must be explained to clients in a simple and understandable way. So that clients always understand what is happening with their assets.

Is there a topic in wealth management that is particularly close to your heart?

For me, wealth management conveyed the image of a confusing and non-transparent market. Since I started at ZWEI Wealth, I can say with conviction that we are creating a fair and transparent market in wealth management. Thanks to our platform, on which over 400 banks and asset managers are registered, we are creating a clear market for clients on which every provider can submit their offer. On the other hand, we create fair competition by comparing the various providers and presenting the best offers to the client at the end. This process enables us to offer our clients the best possible result and make wealth management clearer and more transparent.

Where do you see your personal strengths?

As a professional athlete, I learned to constantly develop and assert myself in a wide variety of situations. I have also gained valuable experience in dealing with pressure situations so that I can continue to perform at my best and always stay on top of things. Giving 100% effort every day and always reaching your full potential is an enormous challenge and requires a lot of discipline, which I will take with me from my time as a professional athlete. I also pursue these qualities in my professional career.

Finally, a few more either-or questions:

• Return or risk? Risk - but you have to know the risk and assess it correctly.
• ETFs or individual stocks? Individual stocks - make a conscious and informed decision for something.
• Apple or Google? Both companies have their strengths and weaknesses - depending on the application.
• Beer or wine? Clearly wine - although beer is always drunk in the sports environment, I'm not (yet) comfortable with it.
• Cinema or Netflix? Netflix - always available and the series marathon can be started comfortably on the sofa.
• Fast or accurate? Fast - speed depends on accuracy.
