“But at that little sink-or-swim moment, I was fighting my natural instinct and instead, forced myself to relax and kind of flow with the tide, which eventually brought me back to the beach,” he continues.
Indosuez Wealth Management’s Arjan De Boer recounts how as a 20-year-old three decades ago, he was swimming along the French Atlantic coast, which was churning with riptides.
“Waves were extremely high. There was a strong undercurrent sucking me underwater and I had real difficulty getting back to the beach. So, I thought: ‘Okay, this is it; I’m not able to return,’” recalls De Boer, Indosuez’s head of markets, investments and structuring.
