For external asset managers (EAM), success is built on anticipating client needs across the full relationship life cycle, not just on trade execution.

Understanding EAMs’ needs before finding solutions

At UBP, the EAM team is a fully integrated, global business line within our Wealth Management division. Our approach starts with listening carefully. By taking the time to understand our clients’ goals, constraints, and timelines, we help you address today’s priorities while preparing for what may arise two to three years down the line. In a sector where complexity and regulations evolve fast, that anticipation matters.

A client-EAM-UBP triangle anchored in trust

We see the relationship as a triangle: the client, the EAM, and UBP. Trust does not appear overnight; it grows when partners do what they say without overpromising. Our role is to make conversations with clients easier by being responsive, reliable, and transparent. Many EAMs tell us they value having a partner who calls with solutions before problems arise, and that is the standard we aim for: pragmatic answers, delivered consistently.

Beyond custody: one EAM platform with end‑to‑end support

EAMs need more than a safe place to hold assets; they need a bank that can help them deliver the right solutions at the right time, drawing on the full capabilities of a one‑stop shop. At UBP, this means aligning execution, operations, and specialist insights, so that you can focus on the outcomes for your client. From onboarding to ongoing portfolio management and reviews, we stay engaged throughout the entire life cycle of the relationship, not just at the entry point.

Senior people, long‑term continuity

What EAMs often ask is simple: will my counterparty still be there in five years? At UBP, senior relationship managers deliberately serve a limited number of counterparties. This structure preserves continuity and depth of knowledge, so your dedicated contacts know your operating model, your clients, and your pace.

Why EAMs choose UBP

  • Client‑centric EAM model that listens first and anticipates next.
  • Integrated global set-up to support multi‑jurisdiction needs with consistent standards.
  • Hands-on, personalised service from senior teams who focus on long‑term relationships.
  • Practical, solution‑oriented mindset: a focus not on why something cannot be done, but how it can be.

When your clients expect clarity, speed, and care, your banking partner should augment, not complicate your work. That’s the value EAMs look for, and that’s what UBP strives to deliver every day.
