Our solutions
Investment Management Services
At Union Bancaire Privée (UK) Limited, we value active management and diversification, integrating global economic outlooks with expertise in asset allocation, investment selection, and portfolio construction.
You can access our investment process and expertise in a way that suits you. Many people choose our discretionary management service, where we construct and then manage a portfolio on your behalf. Those with the time and confidence to make their own investment decisions prefer our advisory or execution only services. Whichever route is right for you, you’ll have direct contact with the people responsible for managing investments and providing advice.
Discretionary
You may wish to delegate investment decisions to our experts, either because you do not have the time or the immediate access to market information to make timely investment decisions. Or perhaps you simply prefer to entrust an investment professional with your financial assets. UBP offers three discretionary investment management services:
Funds Service
Your portfolio will be managed and implemented using one or more of the funds from the range managed by Union Bancaire Privée (UK) Limited; these are chosen to meet your risk profile and investment objectives. These funds provide an efficient means of accessing our investment philosophy and process.
Discretionary Portfolio Service (collectives)
Discretionary Portfolio Service (collectives): Your portfolio will be managed and implemented using a range of collectives or other instruments where appropriate. The asset allocation will be managed according to our investment philosophy and process to ensure that the portfolio continues to meet your risk profile and investment objectives.
Discretionary Portfolio Service (direct)
Your portfolio will be managed and implemented using equities and government bonds where we consider it suitable. The asset allocation will be managed according to our investment philosophy and process to ensure that the portfolio continues to meet your risk profile and investment objectives.
Advisory
You make the final decision on your investments with advice provided by our investment management experts. We provide you with the expert investment knowledge you need to make informed portfolio decisions, allowing you to stay in control of your investments. Advice can take many different forms, and we offer a holistic approach to help you make investment decisions:
- Asset allocation: Defining a global asset allocation overview of your portfolio, will allow you to quantify your risk tolerance
- Recommendations: Once we have defined your optimal asset allocation with you, we help you build your personalised portfolio and provide you with investment advice based on your requirements and our investment convictions.
- Risk management: We monitor your portfolio and may recommend new investment ideas consistent with your investment profile and changing market conditions.
Execution Only
This enables you to invest directly in markets with no investment advice provided by our experts. If you are passionate about making your own investment decisions and simply require a platform to execute orders, this is an ideal option.
-
We offer different levels of service to add value to your trading experience, combining security, trading freedom and speed of execution.
-
You will have access to our dedicated execution teams who can discuss your requirements in detail and place your orders for you. Our team in London can provide you with publicly available information and key trading metrics on your investments as required, and work with you to execute your investment decisions quickly whilst also minimising price impacts.

UBP House View - September 2026
Our outlook for risk assets remains constructive, supported by broadening earnings growth, though tempered by persistent inflation and an oil market showing little sign of easing. Against this backdrop, we are raising our target range for US 10-year yields to 4.25–4.75%, with rising yields and oil prices standing out as the principal risks to our central scenario.

UBP Weekly View - Un marché de l'emploi résilient ; l'inflation et l'escalade de la crise iranienne font grimper les taux
Les chiffres solides de l'emploi ont ravivé les craintes d'inflation et accru les probabilités d'une hausse des taux, tandis que l'escalade des tensions entre les États-Unis et l'Iran a entraîné une hausse des rendements des bons du Trésor américain, des Bunds et des Gilt ; les probabilités d'une hausse des taux par la Fed en septembre sont toutefois restées stables à 60 %.

Le plan de sauvetage du yen qui ne peut pas l'emporter sur les fondamentaux
L'intervention conjointe des États-Unis et du Japon sur le yen – la première action coordonnée des deux pays sur le marché des changes depuis 15 ans – montre à quel point les décideurs politiques prennent désormais au sérieux la faiblesse du yen. Si l’impact immédiat a été considérable, l’efficacité à moyen et long terme dépendra des fondamentaux, et surtout de l’écart important entre les taux américains et japonais, qui rend les opérations de « carry trade » attractives et laisse le yen vulnérable, à moins que la Banque du Japon (BoJ) ne resserre davantage sa politique monétaire ou que la Réserve fédérale américaine ne procède à des baisses de taux. Quels sont les principaux obstacles que la BoJ doit surmonter pour soutenir la stabilité monétaire sans nuire à la croissance ?

Perspective hebdomadaire de l'UBP - Warsh adopte un ton fermement restrictif ; le cycle de l'IA permet aux actions de se maintenir à flot de justesse
Le ton belliciste de Warsh concernant l'indice PCE sous-jacent et la primauté des taux, étayé par des données résilientes, a renforcé les probabilités d'une hausse des taux en septembre, tandis que les prévisions de Nvidia ont permis de maintenir intact le cycle de l'IA, même si les gains boursiers sont restés modestes et dépendants des résultats d'exploitation.
