The parent company of UK-based Brown Shipley, Luxembourg-based Quintet Private Bank has introduced the first of several multi-manager UCITS funds created in partnership with global asset manager BlackRock.
This comes after the Quintet Group, including Brown Shipley, signed a partnership document with BlackRock in 2023 that will expand its investment capabilities.

Moreover, this move will boost the group’s ability to meet the future requirements of its clients while maintaining control over its investment decision-making.
These actively managed, single asset class funds will combine a number of third-party managers into a single fund with the goal of enhancing diversification and supporting portfolio performance, illustrating Quintet’s open-architecture approach, and backed by BlackRock’s size and investment expertise.
Services will only be offered to Brown Shipley clients in the UK.
After receiving regulatory authorisation, the first fund, QMM Actively Managed US Equity, was introduced and is only accessible to clients of Brown Shipley and Quintet Group for investments, including as a component of the private bank’s flagship portfolios.
