Union Bancaire Privée Asset Management is offering commission-free "U" share classes for UK investors.

The firm has launched over 100 “RDR” share classes, making all its funds available to UK investors in both sterling and in the denominated currencies of the funds.

UBP says it regards the UK as a core market. It recently strengthened its London equity team with the appointment of Jean-Luc Eyssautier, who joined from Martin Currie in Singapore.
