Mirabaud Asset Management has joined its first UK retail platform, enabling investors to access Mirabaud’s funds via Raymond James Investment Services.
The arrangement marks the latest milestone in the fast development of Mirabaud’s UK asset management business, after a number of high-profile hires and the launch of several funds over the past two years.
Lionel Aeschlimann, managing partner and head of asset management at Mirabaud, says: “This is part of our strategy to diversify our institutional business and become more accessible to retail customers. This is the first step in making our fund range more accessible to UK retail customers and we are delighted to be working with a company of such great pedigree as Raymond James.”
Stuart Wright, head of operations and product management at Raymond James, says: “Mirabaud’s diversified fund range, which encompasses UK and global equities, global emerging markets and global high yield, strategic and convertible bond funds, together with the backing of a long established Swiss bank, is a good addition to our existing line up of funds.”
Raymond James began trading in the UK in 2001 and now has more than 20,000 client accounts representing total client assets of GBP3.51bn.
