Values are increasingly sought after in the asset management world, with investors choosing to place their faith in businesses that have a very clear identity and a strong conviction in the way they do things.
Loyalty, commitment, independence and transparency are Unigestion’s values. They are central to what we are as a company and are essential to our clients, our employees, as well as our partners and shareholders.
LOYALTY
We are loyal to our clients and will only offer them strategies where we believe we can excel. We put their interest first. This is why our first institutional client is still a client today, alongside our other 220 customers. This limited number of clients allows us to devote the time necessary to understand and fulfil their specific needs.
We care about our employees. We are committed to helping them blossom both professionally and personally.
Our teams have worked together for many years and embrace the highest ethical standards. The members of our senior management team have successfully worked together for an average of fifteen years.
COMMITMENT
Commitment to our clients and to our employees is the backbone of our values.
Unigestion is managed by a team of experienced and dedicated professionals. Our senior management team are Partners in Unigestion and own 70% of the company. Because we invest our capital in our investment strategies, the goals of our shareholders and employees are aligned with those of our clients.
We do not take things for granted. We are committed to continuously enhancing our research, processes, tools and services to achieve our clients’ goals. We take pride in our staff reaching their full potential and facilitate this by creating a stimulating and rewarding work environment that encourages personal initiative and accountability.
INDEPENDENCE
Being privately owned fosters independent thinking. Our sole focus is on investment management, which avoids conflicts of interests. It allows us to fully concentrate on client satisfaction. Our independence is a shield against the temptation to fall in the trap of short term fashions: it enables us to stay true to our convictions for the long term benefit of our clients.
TRANSPARENCY
Transparency is a cornerstone of Unigestion’s culture. It is vital to gain client’s confidence. We are open about our processes, how we generate returns and about our risks. As we always learn from our clients we value sharing experience and knowledge. As fund of funds manager, we invest in funds ourselves and understand our clients’ needs for timely, opened and detailed information.
At Unigestion we say what we do and we do what we say.
