Asia Asset Management schreibt zur Übernahme von Akina durch Unigestion:
Unigestion is still well down the list of even Swiss asset managers, compared to giants like UBS Global Asset Management, Pictet Asset Management, or Union Bancaire Privée, whose AUMs dwarf even its enlarged capital. What is interesting is that they should fix on PE as their way to differentiate and grow, and should diversify from a more traditional asset manager into an alternatives-heavy house, while Wall Street PE majors are moving in the opposite direction, taking on hedge funds and other capabilities and pension giants like CalPERS are somewhat winding down their PE exposure. True, an asset manager is not a pension fund, and has a whole different set of priorities, targets, timescales and obligations to work with. Nonetheless, you do wonder if Unigestion knows something those pension funds have forgotten, or can see some potential they don’t; especially if you can start at the low end and work your way up, and up, and up…
