Our second issue of December 2025 is headlined by Armand Arton, Founder, Chairman and ‘Chief Global Citizen’ of Arton Capital. Arton Capital was launched nearly two decades ago with a simple view: to make global citizenship an accessible reality. Today, amid rising global wealth, evolving foreign investment policies, and an unpredictable sociopolitical climate, this Canada-based firm with a global presence is reshaping the discourse surrounding borders, security, and opportunity. “In an age of fundamental change, our founding mission is now more relevant than ever before,” Arton says. “For the entrepreneurial, the bold, and the disruptors, there is so much opportunity at stake. All they have to do is to embrace the Global Citizen mindset and unleash their potential.”
