Change in the Board of Directors (BoD) of The Singularity Group 

Andrea Quapp new BoD Chairwoman

Zurich, March 23, 2026 – The shareholders of The Singularity Group (TSG) elected Andrea Quapp, Head Multi Asset Class Solutions at GAM, to the Board of Directors at the most recent Annual General Meeting on March 20, 2026. She will assume the role of Chairwoman of the Board of Directors. TSG is a Zurich-based investment boutique screening for Applied Innovation in equities. The former BoD Chairman Eric Sarasin and BoD member and co-founder Tobias Reichmuth have stepped down after eight years. They will remain closely associated with the company.

Andrea Quapp has more than 38 years of experience in the financial industry, including leadership positions at GAM, Julius Baer, and UBS. On her motivation she says: "I have been following TSG since the very beginning. The team around CEO Evelyne Pflugi has developed a unique and profitable investment strategy that makes genuine innovation accessible to all investors. For me, it feels organic to now also officially support TSG with my expertise." Pflugi comments: "I have known and valued Andrea for many years as one of Switzerland's most successful institutional investment experts – and also as one of the earliest supporters of our strategy." She is delighted that Andrea Quapp has agreed to take on the chairmanship of the Board. The BoD now consists of Andrea Quapp, Evelyne Pflugi, and David Solo.

In recent years, TSG has grown into a strong company. Investment products based on the boutique's innovation filter have demonstrated above-average performance across multiple crises, with outstanding earnings growth. Sarasin comments: "The time has now come to pass the baton – with Andrea Quapp we have found a distinguished expert as a successor." Pflugi acknowledges Sarasin's long-standing commitment: "Especially in the early years, Eric was a reliable pillar of support and advisor for me personally and for the company. His many years of experience as a banker and entrepreneur helped me particularly when it came to mastering the real challenges of a startup with a growing team and our diverse external clients."

Reichmuth also attributes his departure to TSG's growing success: "My role at young companies is to help them get on their feet and ultimately get them running. TSG today is a successful investment house and has left this build-up phase behind – now I can focus on new startups." Pflugi, who co-founded the company with Reichmuth, reflects: "As the creative mind behind the idea, Tobias infected me back then with the Singularity virus by asking which innovation leaders exist across all industries. From 'day one' he has continuously inspired and accompanied us with his entrepreneurial spirit."

"I am grateful that both Eric and Tobias have assured me of their continued support even after the end of their long terms on the Board," concludes Pflugi.
