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.

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.

The Moorea Fund Range

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 Weekly View – Les élections de mi-mandat aux États-Unis bousculent le secteur de l'IA et déclenchent une fuite vers les valeurs refuges

Les marchés boursiers mondiaux ont fortement chuté, la victoire écrasante des démocrates aux élections de mi-mandat ayant fait craindre qu’une réglementation ne ralentisse le développement des centres de données dédiés à l’IA, ce qui a particulièrement touché les secteurs de la technologie et des semi-conducteurs. Les rendements obligataires ont baissé sous l’effet de la chute des cours du pétrole et de la vague de ventes sur les marchés boursiers, alors même que la Banque d’Angleterre a relevé ses taux d’intérêt à 4 % et laissé entendre que d’autres hausses pourraient suivre. Le dollar américain s’est raffermi grâce à la demande de valeurs refuges et aux bons chiffres de l’emploi aux États-Unis, tandis que l’or a également progressé.

UBP Weekly View - Les inquiétudes liées à l'IA pèsent sur les marchés boursiers alors que les banques centrales maintiennent leurs taux inchangés

La plupart des grandes banques centrales ont maintenu leurs taux d'intérêt inchangés la semaine dernière, la Réserve fédérale américaine (Fed) et la Banque centrale européenne (BCE) préférant adopter une attitude attentiste. Les marchés boursiers mondiaux ont légèrement reculé, la correction dans le secteur technologique s'étendant à une troisième semaine, les investisseurs se concentrant sur l'écart entre les dépenses en intelligence artificielle (IA) et les flux de trésorerie disponibles. Les obligations ont progressé grâce à la baisse des rendements, tandis que l'or a reculé en raison de modestes ajustements de positionnement et de sa sensibilité aux marchés boursiers.

UBP Weekly View - Les doutes concernant les dépenses en IA et les tensions en France pèsent sur les marchés

Les marchés boursiers mondiaux ont reculé pour la deuxième semaine consécutive, les investisseurs s'interrogeant sur la capacité des dépenses en intelligence artificielle (IA), financées par l'endettement, à générer des rendements suffisants. Les rendements des bons du Trésor américain sont repassés sous la barre des 5 %, tandis que les écarts de rendement des obligations d'État françaises ont atteint leur plus haut niveau depuis la crise de la zone euro. Les résultats des géants de l'informatique et une série de réunions politiques majeures font de cette semaine un moment décisif, même si la plupart des banques centrales devraient maintenir leurs taux d'intérêt inchangés.
