Markus Hollmen
Wealth manager
Markus Hollmen is a wealth manager based in Switzerland. He previously worked in Helsinki, including at UBS around the financial crisis, and spent years training investors for Nasdaq’s Finnish unit. On Negotiator 365, with Finnvera chief economist Mauri Kotamäki, he treats Finland as a frontier market whose capitalists are overweight at home by habit, not by design. His slides — the ones that made a private-equity room groan — frame public spending at about €84,000 per private-sector worker and a thin domestic ownership base. The short 590 is the same argument in one minute: Finland does not operate as a market economy. He talks tax, inheritance, diversification into Switzerland, and why foreign capital will not automatically replace what leaves. The remedies on the table are an AI productivity jump and stronger private ownership, not another round of self-deception in parliament.
