UBS Global Asset Management

UBS Global Asset Management

UBS was formed through the merger of Union Bank of Switzerland and the Swiss Bank Corporation in 1998.

In July 2000, the merger also culminated in the integration of the investment management teams of the respective asset management businesses - UBS Asset Management, Brinson Partners (whose Chicago origins date back to the early 1970s) and Phillips & Drew (established in London in 1895). In April 2002, with the integration completed, the business group was re-branded as UBS Global Asset Management to reflect the truly global nature of their business, with clients including:

  • Corporate and public pension plans
  • Endowments, municipalities, charities and private foundations
  • Insurance companies
  • Governments and central banks
  • Supranationals
  • Wholesale intermediaries
  • Distribution partners
  • Financial institutions
  • Private clients

The price/value investment philosophy is at the heart of the core investment management business. UBS can demonstrate strength and depth of investment resources around the world and have the critical mass to attract and retain the best people. State-of-the-art risk management tools and processes are central to the disciplined investment approach. Developed in-house, the systems allow portfolio managers to call up comprehensive risk analysis within seconds. In this way, portfolio managers can be sure that portfolios are managed in line with clients' individual risk/return objectives.
