Intesa Sanpaolo Wealth Management, the newly established Luxembourg wealth management branch of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group, has appointed Universal Investment Group as the new Management Company for its UCITS SICAV portfolio in Luxembourg.

The partnership is strengthened by the collaboration with UI efa as the Central Administrator and the Luxembourg savings bank Spuerkeess as the Custodian. The SICAV portfolio has been successfully migrated to the Universal Investment platform.

As part of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group, Intesa Sanpaolo Wealth Management specialises in enhancing personal wealth assets. “Partnering with Universal Investment Group elevates our commitment to excellence and sustainable value creation. We are dedicated to upholding our standards of reliability and transparency as we continue to create tailored strategies that grow and safeguard our clients' wealth over the long term," said Marc Flammang, CEO of Intesa Sanpaolo Wealth Management.

“They bring a level of expertise and professionalism that is recognised worldwide, enhancing our ongoing ambition to serve asset managers and expand our footprint in Southern Europe and beyond. We are very much looking forward to growing together with ISPWM and propelling their success.”
