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 Weekly View – As taxas de rendibilidade atingiram máximos de várias décadas, mas as ações mantêm-se estáveis
As taxas de rendibilidade a longo prazo atingiram máximos de várias décadas, uma vez que os dados sólidos dos EUA e os preços elevados da energia reforçaram as expectativas de um novo aumento das taxas de juro por parte da Reserva Federal dos EUA (Fed).

Como a IA conquistou os mercados obrigacionistas
Em 2026, os cinco hiperescaladores (Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta e Oracle) irão gastar cerca de 820 mil milhões de dólares em despesas de capital, em comparação com 750 mil milhões de dólares em fluxos de caixa operacionais. Isto significa que os seus investimentos estão a exceder os fluxos de caixa disponíveis e que este défice de financiamento tem de ser coberto através de dívida.

UBP Weekly View — A Fed sobe as taxas; o petróleo e as taxas de rendibilidade dão o tom
A Reserva Federal dos EUA aumentou as suas taxas de juro em 25 pontos-base (pb), para 3,75–4,00%, por unanimidade, justificando a medida como uma precaução para evitar que os preços da energia se repercutam na inflação subjacente, enquanto o Banco de Inglaterra manteve as suas taxas em 3,75%, apesar de uma orientação mais restritiva constante na ata da sua reunião.

Financiamento da implantação da IA
O boom da IA levou os cinco hiperescaladores mundiais (Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta e Oracle) a uma nova era de financiamento. Em 2026, prevê-se que as suas despesas de capital excedam o fluxo de caixa operacional, com os investimentos a atingirem, segundo as projeções, 5,6 biliões de dólares até 2030, o que levanta questões fundamentais sobre como esta expansão sem precedentes será financiada.

UBP Weekly View — Os bancos centrais avançam com medidas de aperto monetário à medida que a inflação aumenta
A subida do preço do petróleo para mais de 100 dólares por barril, num contexto de escalada do conflito no Médio Oriente, provocou uma onda generalizada de vendas de obrigações do Estado e de ações na semana passada, à medida que os receios de inflação impulsionaram uma subida acentuada das taxas de rendibilidade nos EUA, na zona euro e no Reino Unido.
