    • One contract: covers a varied groupof advisory investments that share the same risk profile and investment objectives
    • One fee structure: an annual percentage of the advisory assets in the related accounts

The CAP portfolio can include trusts, LLCs and individual assets, even alternative investments such as hedge funds, private real estate or private equity investments, regardless of whether they are held at UBS or elsewhere.

  • Help concentrated equity clients manage risks
    For clients concerned with the inherent risks of a concentrated equity position, our Concentrated Equity Solutions (CES) Program provides sophisticated, scalable solutions to help manage volatility in their investment portfolios. This gives you a valuable tool to offer your ultrahigh- net-worth clients—including exclusive investment solutions available only at UBS—expanding their investment options.
  • Give different clients the flexibility they require

The ability to choose between discretionary or non-discretionary platforms empowers your client to be as involved in the process as they prefer, giving you another way to offer flexible solutions based on their unique needs and desires.
