Unigestion US provides investment advice regarding private equity investments to pooled investment vehicles and segregated mandates through a sub-advisory relationship with Unigestion SA. They also provide advisory services to a segregated private equity mandate. Unigestion US tailors strategies to client needs, allowing restrictions on certain investments. Investment research and advisory services are provided to clients of Unigestion SA on a non-discretionary basis, except for one mandate.
Unigestion US charges a management fee as a percentage of the assets they manage for discretionary and advisory management of segregated portfolios. These fees are negotiable depending on the size of the mandate. Invoices are issued quarterly or semi-annually and are payable within 30 days. Unigestion US may also receive a performance-based fee from its discretionary accounts. Clients are responsible for fees and expenses associated with their accounts, including custodian fees and brokerage commissions. If Unigestion US recommends purchase of a pooled investment vehicle as part of its investment strategy, clients should be aware that they will pay management and potentially performance fees directly on that investment, as well as fees to Unigestion US as outlined in the investment management agreement.
