- Corporate
Universal Investment has been appointed the new management company (ManCo) for the Luxembourg fund portfolio of Switzerland’s Fisch Asset Management. The Fisch Umbrella Fund, with a volume of approximately EUR 4.5 billion, bundles 13 UCITS sub-funds which include corporate bond, convertible bond and absolute return funds. In doing so, the focus is on active management based on holistic credit analysis. The funds were transferred to Universal Investment Luxembourg’s fund service platform with effect from 01 January 2022. RBC Investor Services Bank remains responsible for fund administration as well as for custody and the transfer agent function.
With this, Fisch Asset Management is dissolving its own Luxembourg-based ManCo. Part of the company’s sharper strategic focus is also the recently announced expansion of its portfolio management capabilities with, amongst others, specialists in emerging market bonds and multi-asset products. The issuance of an additional emerging markets fund is already being planned with Universal-Investment and expected to launch during the second quarter of 2022. Fisch Asset Management was managing CHF 11.6 billion (approximately EUR 11.2 billion) with its strategies at the start of the year and continues to grow.
