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 opt for our discretionary management service, where we construct and then manage a portfolio on your behalf. Those clients with the time and confidence to make their own investment decisions often 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.

Become a client

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 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 - Markets rally after Jackson Hole symposium

With Fed chairman Jerome Powell opening the door to a rate cut in September, last week’s Jackson Hole symposium reinforced our forecast of two reductions this year. Global equities closed on a positive note, buoyed by the policy easing. However, the impact of tariffs must be fully assessed over the coming weeks.

The Opening of 401(k)s to Private Assets

UBP Weekly View - US equities scale new peaks

The latest US inflation data confirm that price pressures are set to trend higher in the coming months. Nevertheless, rate cuts remain on the table given the slowdown in the labour market. As earnings season winds down after a solid set of results, market attention will shift to GDP developments and leading indicators, as well as to the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole meeting on Friday.

Staying invested remains a strategic lever

Overly defensive positioning has failed to benefit from fluctuations stemming from tariff tensions.

UBP Weekly View - Rate-cut on the horizon

Relief from US tariffs has fuelled renewed optimism, though commercial frictions remain, notably with India and Switzerland. Hope of a Russia–Ukraine ceasefire and rising expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut have further buoyed equities. However, with equity valuations increasingly stretched, markets may face bouts of short-term volatility.
