You seek flexibility and opportunities. We structure products that offer an appealing alternative to traditional financial assets.
Structured products present a compelling alternative to direct financial assets due to their adaptability and extensive customisation options. They can cater to specific requirements using a broad array of underlying securities and accommodate diverse market expectations depending on your risk profile.
Once you have defined the solution to meet your specific needs, you have access to our open architecture of 15 top-tier issuers, ensuring best execution covering both quantitative and qualitative aspects, and our experts are ready to support you at every step.
Following this, we provide proactive life-cycle monitoring to ensure your investments are continuously optimised.
We transform an investment idea into actionable solutions with multiple advantages:
Improved asset allocation
Use structured products to improve the strategic allocation of your portfolio.
Cross asset classes
Without increasing the risk of your portfolio, you can increase your exposure to risky assets. You can add new asset classes with low correlation to those you already hold and enhance your diversification by country and sector.
Tactical opportunities
You can also perform tactical short-term trades, such as betting on a market trend or an event that you want to take advantage of.
We provide five categories of investment solutions tailored to your objectives and desired level of risks and returns:
These defensive investment solutions are suitable for investors seeking returns with the safety of predefined and unconditional capital protection at maturity.
These are solutions designed for investors seeking regular coupons and willing to forgo potential upside exposure to the underlying asset. This category entails downside buffers to reduce the risk of loss in comparison to a direct investment in the underlying.
Participation products are created to optimise participation in the performance of an underlying asset. This is achieved through enhancements such as downside buffers to minimise risks compared to a direct investment in the underlying or leverages to amplify returns.
Credit-linked products are tailored for investors seeking to enhance returns compared to traditional bond investments, through instruments for which the risks associated with credit events involve both the issuer and the reference debtor.
Commonly referred to as warrants, these products are designed for investors seeking to capitalise on the upward or downward movements of an underlying asset in exchange for a premium payment.
Our experienced specialists have wide-ranging and in-depth expertise with structured products. In addition, they have access to the know-how of over 200 in-house investment specialists.

Commercial agreements are fuelling market optimism, reinforcing confidence in a clear path for corporate earnings growth. As the earnings season progresses, 34% of S&P 500 constituents have published their results, with 80% surpassing analysts’ estimates. This week, attention will be focussed on key economic data and potential new trade agreements as the 1 August tariff truce deadline approaches.
21.07.2025
US banking giants led the start of the earnings season, with their management expressing confidence about consumer resilience despite economic uncertainty and price pressures, with the latter being confirmed by more solid June US headline inflation data which came in at 2.6% year-on-year. This figure also supported further consolidation of the US dollar, although we expect this to be short-lived. More corporate results are due this week and are likely to play a key role in steering market sentiment.

How UBP is deepening its client-centric investment proposition in Asia?

The fresh salvo of tariffs paused the rally on global equity markets, leaving them broadly stable. Renewed tariff threats are reigniting concerns about global industrial supply chains, generating doubts about whether or not these pressures will erode corporate margins. The upcoming earnings season, which kicks off this week, may offer some hints of an answer.

The prospect of lower oil prices and possible Fed easing is benign for most G10 currencies.
07.07.2025
Investor sentiment in equities was buoyed last week by the passage of the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’, signs of US economic resilience, and hopes of easing trade tensions. US equities remain our preferred sector for the second half of the year, underpinned by stronger earnings growth expectations, a persistently weaker dollar, and significant exposure to the technology sector.

With summer under way, aligning income generation with long-term growth helps reinforce portfolio resilience. A well-balanced allocation remains essential to navigating the coming months with confidence.
04.07.2025
Risk appetite for equities holds firm, yet diversification is paramount.
30.06.2025
The Israel–Iran ceasefire has eased concerns about energy prices, thus curbing inflation pressures and maintaining the prospect of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve this autumn. Investor sentiment remains strong, notably on the technology sector. However, the unpredictability of geopolitical developments, coupled with the looming 90-day tariff-pause deadline, leads us to maintain a broad diversification across asset classes and regions.
Glossary
Structured products are highly flexible, efficient instruments which match almost any investment objective, and, unlike traditional investment instruments, they can also generate positive returns in falling or stagnant markets.
Structured products are designed to meet specific risk/return profiles and/or diversification requirements that cannot be achieved with traditional investment instruments. They can be structured to most asset classes, offering a tailor-made alternative to direct investments. They are, therefore, ideal for customising an investment solution to a client’s needs and preferences.
Products can be engineered across all pay-off categories (capital protection, yield enhancement, participation and leverage) and within all asset classes (equities, fixed income, foreign exchange and commodities).
