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.

Come orientarsi nel nuovo ciclo immobiliare
Dal 2022, con la fine del contesto di tassi d’interesse estremamente bassi in Europa, il settore immobiliare ha subito una significativa rivalutazione. I rendimenti sono aumentati notevolmente, mentre i volumi delle transazioni e i valori degli asset hanno subito un calo.

UBP Weekly View - I rendimenti raggiungono i massimi degli ultimi decenni, ma i titoli azionari tengono bene
I rendimenti a lungo termine hanno raggiunto i massimi degli ultimi decenni, poiché i dati positivi provenienti dagli Stati Uniti e i prezzi elevati dell’energia hanno rafforzato le aspettative di un ulteriore aumento dei tassi da parte della Federal Reserve (Fed).

Come l'intelligenza artificiale ha conquistato i mercati obbligazionari
Nel 2026, i cinque hyperscaler (Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta e Oracle) spenderanno circa 820 miliardi di dollari in investimenti in conto capitale (capex), a fronte di 750 miliardi di dollari di flussi di cassa operativi. Ciò significa che i loro investimenti superano i flussi di cassa disponibili e che questo divario di finanziamento dovrà essere colmato ricorrendo al debito.

UBP Weekly View - La Fed alza i tassi; il petrolio e i rendimenti dettano il tono
La Fed ha aumentato i tassi di interesse di 25 punti base (pb) portandoli al 3,75–4,00% con voto unanime, definendo la mossa come una misura precauzionale per evitare che i prezzi dell’energia si ripercuotano sull’inflazione di fondo, mentre la Banca d’Inghilterra ha mantenuto i tassi al 3,75% nonostante un orientamento più restrittivo emerso dal verbale della riunione.

Finanziamento dello sviluppo dell'intelligenza artificiale
Il boom dell’intelligenza artificiale ha proiettato i cinque hyperscaler mondiali (Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta e Oracle) in una nuova era di finanziamenti. Nel 2026, la loro spesa in conto capitale dovrebbe superare il flusso di cassa operativo, con investimenti che, secondo le previsioni, raggiungeranno i 5,6 trilioni di dollari entro il 2030, sollevando interrogativi fondamentali su come verrà finanziata questa espansione senza precedenti.

UBP Weekly View - Le banche centrali adottano misure di inasprimento monetario a fronte dell'aumento dell'inflazione
L’impennata del prezzo del petrolio oltre i 100 dollari al barile, sullo sfondo dell’escalation del conflitto in Medio Oriente, ha innescato la scorsa settimana un’ondata di vendite generalizzata sui titoli di Stato e sui titoli azionari, mentre i timori di inflazione hanno spinto i rendimenti a un forte rialzo negli Stati Uniti, nell’Eurozona e nel Regno Unito.
