Union Asset Management Co. Pvt. Ltd.

Union Mutual Fund, the investment arm of Union Bank of India, has been a key player in India’s asset management sector for over a decade. Its mission is to provide investors with responsible investment opportunities, aiming for sustainable growth through capital markets. Established on December 30, 2009, the AMC leveraged Union Bank’s extensive client base to build a strong presence in the sector. Initially formed in collaboration with Belgium-based KBC Asset Management NV, the AMC was known as Union KBC Mutual Fund. Union Bank held the majority stake, while KBC owned 49%. This partnership ended in 2016 when KBC exited, and Union Bank purchased its shares, making Union Mutual Fund a wholly-owned subsidiary. In 2017, Dai-ichi Life, a leading financial services firm from Japan, acquired a 39.62% stake in Union Mutual Fund. Though the AMC’s structure remained unchanged, Dai-ichi appointed a nominee to the Board of Directors. Sponsors: Union Bank of India (UBI) is a major government-owned bank, which marked its 100th anniversary in 2019. Founded by Mahatma Gandhi on November 11, 1919, UBI was a significant financial institution even before Indian independence. It was nationalized in 1969, and by then, had 240 branches. Following nationalization, UBI expanded rapidly, acquiring several banks, including Belgaum Bank in 1975, Miraj State Bank in 1985, and Sikkim Bank in 1999. The bank also established an international presence, with branches in Abu Dhabi, Sydney, Antwerp, and Hong Kong. UBI now operates 4,300 branches and holds assets worth over Rs. 14,674.66 crore, employing more than 35,000 people. Dai-ichi Life, founded in 1902, is one of Japan’s top three insurance companies, with a presence in various financial services. The company’s total assets exceed $347 billion, and it holds substantial shares in several companies, including Tokyu Corporation and Union Mutual Fund.
