The differentiating factors of alternative investments

With a long history of expertise in alternatives, UBP provides access to various strategies, from hedge funds to non-listed investments.

Exploring the diverse universe of alternatives

Unlike traditional assets, alternative investments encompass a broad universe, including hedge funds, liquid alternatives, and non-listed investments. These strategies provide investors with key benefits, such as reduced correlation to public markets, the potential for enhanced yields, and access to exclusive opportunities. 


The role of alternatives in portfolios

By integrating alternatives into their portfolios, investors can pursue their long-term financial objectives with greater diversification and flexibility. Alternative strategies provide stability and strong growth prospects in an increasingly complex financial landscape by enhancing portfolios' resilience and adaptability.
