Unigestion’s multi-asset offering will now be available in the Italian market for the first time following a partnership with Allianz Bank Financial Advisors.
The Swiss fund manager, which traditionally caters primarily to institutional investors, will offer the multi-asset fund through the Milan-headquartered bank.
The Uni-Global – Cross Asset Navigator fund aims to deliver returns of +5% across all market conditions, with a target volatility of 6%.
With an investment horizon of three to five years, the strategy aims to capture the upside during bull markets while protecting capital during market downturns.
According to Unigestion, the Italian market is one of the most important in southern Europe for the fund manager. Since 2017, the firm has been targeting a number of intermediaries including banks, insurance companies, and asset managers in the country.
Allianz Bank Financial Advisors will offer the strategy via its internal fund, X-team Unigestion Navigator, on the Unit Linked Challenge Pro platform. This platform is provided by Darta, an Irish life assurance company wholly-owned by the Allianz Group.
