UOBGC’s Approach

Building Partnership, Cultivating Value

Our philosophy is to combine excellence in investment capability with flexibility in product design and distribution in order to meet the needs of institutional investors worldwide.

UOBGC seeks to partner with exceptional talent to create risk-adjusted reward investment products in all asset classes for institutional investors.

We aim to build long-term relationships with our partners and clients rather than merely “sell product”. As such, the firm’s professionals work together as a globally integrated team. Whether the clients and/or partners are in Asia, Europe, the Middle East or the U.S., the goal is to provide full access to UOB’s worldwide resources.

To apply this philosophy, we focus first on identifying client needs, both by assessing market demand and understanding the underlying trends in the economic and investment cycles. We then create competitive product by accessing the best investment capabilities worldwide through joint ventures, alliances or affiliations.

Within the UOB Group, UOBGC has the exclusive mandate to create, introduce and distribute investment products to clients outside the Asian region. Through relationships with asset managers worldwide, we also seek to meet the needs of UOB’s customers in Singapore and other Asean countries.

UOBGC is backed by the resources of the UOB Group. UOB has acted as a co-investor in a number of UOBGC’s investment funds and products, providing critical seed capital and demonstrating the Group’s commitment to its investment management business.
