Virtual meetings or in-person encounters: toward a return to genuine connections?

In recent years, virtual meetings have become the norm. Driven by digitalization and remote work, they have proven attractive for their convenience and efficiency. Zoom, Teams ou Meet sont devenus les salles de réunion du quotidien. Yet a new trend is emerging in the professional world: the return to human contact, the pleasure of face-to-face exchange, and the authenticity of true relationships.

After several years of remote interactions, many business leaders are once again discovering the richness of in-person meetings. At Telomere Capital, this conviction has never faded: trust, a nuanced understanding of needs, and the creation of value are built above all on proximity and direct communication.

While digital tools have certainly demonstrated their effectiveness, they cannot replace a look, a gesture, or a spontaneous chat over coffee. These intangibles yet essential elements are particularly vital in wealth management where every detail matters, and the quality of human connection remains at the core of success.

Our clients know this well: behind every successful wealth strategy lies a meeting, a dialogue, and a shared intuition. It is this human dimension, inseparable from our profession, that makes all the difference.
In-person meetings allow us to go further, better understand personal and family dynamics, and build lasting relationships founded on mutual trust.

Of course, videoconferencing still has its place. It streamlines communication, bridges distances, and fosters responsiveness. But a new balance is emerging, as the all-digital approach is starting to show its limits: virtual fatigue, declining attention, and superficial interactions. Conversely, the return to physical meetings brings renewed meaning, warmth, and energy to professional relationships.

So, five years from now, will our exchanges be entirely virtual? Or will we witness a renaissance of in-person encounters, more selective, yet stronger and more valuable? At Telomere Capital, we believe technology will continue to enhance our interactions, but nothing will ever replace the richness of a face-to-face exchange.

Our success speaks for itself: it is through direct meetings, personal interactions, and our ongoing presence alongside our clients that we build enduring and high-performing relationships. Because wealth management, before being a matter of numbers, is above all a story of trust and human connection.
