Manulife Investment Management and UBS’ unified global alternatives ( UGA ) business will collaborate on a customized Japan Private Equity Co-investment programme for wealth management clients.
The collaboration brings together Manulife’s regional private equity experience, sponsor relationships and underwriting capabilities with UBS’ UGA deep expertise, global scale and distribution power.
“Our Asia private equity platform is built on longstanding sponsor relationships and disciplined underwriting,” says Liam Coppinger, Manulife’s head of private equity Asia. “This foundation enables us to identify high-quality investment opportunities and build diversified portfolios that deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns.”
Natascha Gjergjek, UBS’ UGA head of business development, adds: “Private equity is an increasingly important component of a diversified portfolio. As investors’ needs become more complex, we remain focused on expanding the breadth of differentiated capabilities and tailored solutions to help them navigate an evolving investment landscape.”
