Dear reader,
Nothing is as constant as change – something we are all experiencing anew each day. Those managing portfolios are continuously facing new challenges. Our dynamic, rule-based FX overlay can provide essential support – it’s tailor-made for increasingly volatile currency markets. This edition of our newsletter gives you an insight into how exactly this works. We will also explore investment opportunities in infrastructure and real estate, significantly enhanced by open-ended mutual infrastructure funds and especially by ELTIF 2.0, encompassing the retail sector as well.
We are observing a trend where institutional investors are increasingly opting for active fund managers. This edition will delve into why the challenging task of fund selection is becoming more crucial and why having a visionary sparring partner is essential in this process.
Universal Investment and its clients are on a path towards a bright future. This is also emphasized by Markus Neubauer in his farewell speech. As Managing Director, he has been instrumental in shaping our company into a leader in the German market, always prioritising our clients. We are very grateful for his significant contributions. He now retires after 36 years with Universal Investment.
In the coming year, we are excited to welcome Francesca McDonagh as our new CEO. She is dedicated to driving Universal Investment forward, enhancing our client-centric solutions. Amidst these changes, our steadfast focus will remain on our home market, the DACH region, a fundamental part of Universal Investment's DNA.
On behalf of our entire team, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for your trust and partnership in 2023. We wish you and your families a joyful holiday season and look forward to a successful new year with you.
Sincerely,
Katja Müller
Managing Director / Chief Customer Officer
