GABA Southern California Hosts Annual Economic & Market Outlook 2026 with Deutsche Bank Wealth Management
GABA Southern California hosted its annual Economic & Market Outlook on February 3, 2026, at the iconic Annenberg Community Beach House, in partnership with Deutsche Bank Wealth Management. Set against a stunning Pacific sunset, the event brought together an exceptional cross-section of transatlantic leaders, including senior executives, financial and legal experts, consultants, technologists, diplomats, academics, and cultural figures. The evening reflected a rare mix of influence, intellect, and global perspective, hallmarks of GABA’s dynamic and highly engaged community.
Guests were welcomed with an open bar before Deepak Puri, Chief Investment Officer of Deutsche Bank Wealth Management, took the stage for an interactive and thought-provoking conversation moderated by renowned financial journalist Frank Mottek. Following the discussion, attendees continued the exchange during a lively networking reception accompanied by curated drinks and appetizers.
The timely discussion, enriched by an active audience Q&A, addressed pressing global economic and market developments. A central theme was the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence as a key driver of market performance, innovation, and investor sentiment.
Broader macroeconomic themes included affordability challenges, global fiscal imbalances and growth disparities, and the structural, long-term implications of AI on markets worldwide. For more info, read Deutsche Bank PERSPECTIVES 2026 – Annual Outlook.
