The UK-headquartered boutique asset manager is looking to expand its footprint in intermediary markets.

Unigestion has shaken hands with Spain's Allfunds Bank on a deal that will see its SICAV fund range registered on one of Europe's largest mutual fund platforms. 

The agreement will see Unigestion's Uni-Global SICAV sub-funds and share classes placed on what is, according to The Platforum, the largest “open architecture” mutual fund platform in Europe.

The partnership comes as Unigestion looks to expand its footprint in intermediary markets. 

Unigestion says it hopes that by making several of its share classes and main funds available on Allfunds Bank, it will accelerate its offerings to fund influencers who are seeking to diversify the assets of their clients. 

Unigestion's equity and multi-asset products, such as Navigator and Alternative Risk Premia, will be made available to investors, it said in a statement. 

“We are delighted to strengthen the partnership with Allfunds Bank as this is a key step forward for Unigestion to increase our presence in the intermediaries segment, especially in markets such as Italy and Spain,” said Andrea Di Nisio, head of Southern Europe intermediaries at Unigestion.
