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 - Le elezioni di medio termine negli Stati Uniti scuotono il mercato dell’intelligenza artificiale e innescano una fuga verso i beni rifugio

I mercati azionari globali hanno registrato un forte calo, poiché la schiacciante vittoria dei Democratici alle elezioni di medio termine ha alimentato i timori che una maggiore regolamentazione possa rallentare l’espansione dei data center dedicati all’intelligenza artificiale, con ripercussioni particolarmente pesanti sui settori tecnologico e dei semiconduttori. I rendimenti obbligazionari sono scesi a causa del calo dei prezzi del petrolio e della correzione sui mercati azionari, nonostante la Banca d’Inghilterra abbia aumentato i tassi di interesse al 4% e abbia segnalato la possibilità di ulteriori rialzi. Il dollaro USA ha guadagnato terreno grazie alla domanda di beni rifugio e ai dati positivi sull’occupazione negli Stati Uniti, mentre anche l’oro ha registrato un rialzo.

UBP Weekly View - I timori legati all'intelligenza artificiale pesano sui mercati azionari mentre le banche centrali mantengono i tassi invariati

La scorsa settimana le principali banche centrali hanno per lo più mantenuto invariati i tassi di interesse, con la Federal Reserve statunitense (Fed) e la Banca centrale europea (BCE) che hanno preferito adottare un atteggiamento attendista. I mercati azionari globali hanno registrato un leggero calo, con la correzione nel settore tecnologico che si è protratta per la terza settimana consecutiva, mentre gli investitori si sono concentrati sul divario tra la spesa per l’intelligenza artificiale (IA) e il flusso di cassa libero. Le obbligazioni hanno guadagnato terreno grazie al calo dei rendimenti, mentre l’oro ha chiuso in ribasso a causa di modesti aggiustamenti di posizione e della sua sensibilità ai mercati azionari.

UBP Weekly View - I dubbi sulla spesa per l'intelligenza artificiale e le tensioni in Francia pesano sui mercati

I mercati azionari globali hanno registrato un calo per la seconda settimana consecutiva, mentre gli investitori si sono chiesti se la spesa per l’intelligenza artificiale (IA), finanziata tramite debito, possa generare rendimenti adeguati. I rendimenti dei titoli del Tesoro statunitense sono scesi nuovamente sotto il 5%, mentre gli spread dei titoli di Stato francesi hanno raggiunto i livelli più elevati dalla crisi dell’eurozona. Gli utili delle hyperscaler e una serie di importanti riunioni di politica monetaria rendono questa settimana decisiva, anche se si prevede che la maggior parte delle banche centrali manterrà invariati i tassi di interesse.
