UBP is one of the largest family-owned private banks globally. Headquartered in Geneva and operating across more than 30 offices worldwide, UBP specialises in wealth and asset management for private and institutional clients . In 2018, UBP launched its impact investing franchise, which now encompasses three dedicated impact strategies.
Andrew Huang, IAP CEO and Head of Investment Solutions & Partnerships: “We identified UBP as having one of the most robust approaches we’ve encountered to listed equity impact investing. We are excited to bring our clients the benefit of UBP’s expertise to building investment portfolios of companies contributing towards real-world decarbonisation impact within our MEP solutions.”
Nicolas Faller, Co-CEO Asset Management at UBP: “UBP sets itself apart by delivering long-term, risk-adjusted returns while creating positive impact through investments in innovative companies at the forefront of sustainable growth. We are excited to collaborate with IAP, by combining our shared commitment to impact investing with innovative solutions that drive meaningful change.”
Founded in 2023, IAP’s continuing mission is to drive impact and alpha outcomes for investors. By consistently delivering this, IAP believes they can accelerate the transition to a more resilient world.
Huang concluded: “The strategic collaboration with UBP has the exciting potential to strengthen our approach to implementing impact investment practices across the wider MEP portfolio to support alpha and contribute to real-world change.”
* IAP is engaging with prospective clients to test the naming of our innovative approach to targeting improvements in further portfolio outcomes in addition to combining the expertise of specialist managers. The term “Multi-Emulation Portfolio” (MEP) is currently under consideration and may evolve as we continue testing.
