Uniastrum Capital, a London-based asset management firm controlled by a Russian bank, Uniastrum Bank, has launched an international wealth management service, which plans to seek clients among high net worth individuals, celebrities and prominent politicians. Uniastrum Capital is expected to seek clients from the growing Russian expatriate community in the UK. Uniastrum said that it wants to offer its clients “solutions”, not products. The firm’s new services will include financial planning, risk and liquidity-based portfolio management, investment advice, individual structured solutions, alternative investment portfolios, access to international banking, lifestyle management, and immigration advice through a single platform. “With a truly holistic approach Uniastrum plans to look not only into the financial situation of the clients, but take into account their lifestyle requirements and help to manage those requirements in a most efficient way,” the firm said in a statement. Uniastrum plans to offer its clients an open architecture product range. Uniastrum Capital is run by George Piskov, who founded Uniastrum Bank in the 1994 in Moscow. The London operations started in 2001.
