Kepler Cheuvreux and Unigestion have launched joint public equities asset management company, Kepler Unigestion, following the close of transaction and regulatory approvals.
Specifically, the partnership is set to focus on quantitative strategies for listed equities.
Through the formation of the new entity, Unigestion’s equities team has joined Kepler Cheuvreux, creating a partnership now comprising a team of 20 professionals and managing more than €3 billion in assets.
Kepler Cheuvreux is also contributing a sales force of over 130 professionals and more than 1,300 institutional clients across Europe, North America, and MENA.
The firms have said that the joint company will aim to deliver equity strategies through a combination of artificial intelligence and investment expertise.
“The investment environment has become more uncertain in recent months, and we are seeing a significant increase in interest in our strategies from investors seeking to profit from current market volatility,” said Alexei Jourovski, chief executive of Kepler Unigestion.
“We are very excited about the opportunity to further leverage the combined expertise and enhanced capabilities of Kepler Unigestion for the benefit of our clients.”

The launch is also expected to pave the way for a further period of growth, focused on driving product innovation and expanding client opportunities. To achieve this, Kepler Cheuvreux, Unigestion and the Kepler Unigestion management team are set to make use of Unigestion’s expertise and Kepler Cheuvreux’s research and distribution capacities.
The two firms announced the partnership in February 2025, where the first stage of integration saw Unigestion transferring the €3 billion in assets under management – specifically in the form of mandates and investment funds.
