Who Unigestion is.
- Historical Background
- Unigestion was established in Geneva in 1971 by Henri Sabrier. In 1976, Bernard Sabrier, the founder's son, acquired the company and has since overseen its development from a family office into an asset management firm with a global presence in Europe, North America, and Asia.
- Source of Capital
- The firm manages assets for over 500 institutional clients and high-net-worth individuals. The Famsa Foundation, a Swiss foundation established by Chairman Bernard Sabrier in 2011, is the company's largest shareholder. Employees and clients are also represented as shareholders.
- Major Events
- Unigestion and Kepler Cheuvreux announced a strategic partnership in public equities asset management. The firm closed a single-asset continuation fund for CES Power, a provider of infrastructure for live events.
- Allocation Strategy
- The firm's activities are centered on three main areas: private equity, equities, and wealth management. Its private equity business, which manages over $10 billion in assets, targets global mid-market companies through four strategies: primaries (specializing in emerging and established managers), co-investments, secondaries, and direct investments. The firm utilizes low-volatility and hedging strategies within its equity allocation to manage risk.
