Intermediary markets are a key growth area for Unigestion, with the firm announcing three senior hires in its newly formed intermediary team last year.
The Swiss asset manager has traditionally focused on institutional and high net worth cilents.
Following its partnership with Allfunds, Unigestion’s wide range of strategies, across equity, multi asset investing, private equity and alternatives, will now be widely available to the intermediary market.
Speaking at Unigestion’s inaugural client conference in Milan on Thursday, Andrea Di Nisio, head of southern Europe intermediaries at Unigestion, said: “We are delighted to strengthen the partnership with Allfunds Bank as this is a key step forward for Unigestion to increase our presence in the intermediaries’ segment, especially in markets such as Italy and Spain.”
Allfunds agreement
The new agreement with Allfunds Bank will see the registration of all Unigestion’s Uni-Global Sicav sub funds and share classes on the ‘largest open architecture’ mutual fund platforms in Europe.
The Geneva-based asset manager believes that the availability of several share classes and all its main funds on Allfunds Bank will accelerate Unigestion’s offering to fund influencers, as they look to diversify the assets of their clients.
Unigestion’s equity and multi-asset products, such as Navigator and Alternative Risk Premia, will all be made available to investors.
