Investing in the future
With our support, Universal’s value creation plan is to invest in new products (e.g. management company-only, ESG), state-of-the-art technology (e.g. blockchain, robotic process automation) and the international sales force; establish a best-in-class branch in Poland with the highly skilled talent to support the Frankfurt and Luxembourg offices, and acquire businesses that have a clear strategic fit throughout Europe.
The goal is for Universal to evolve into the largest fund service platform for all asset classes in Europe.
