For a private owner, a yacht or an aircraft spells adventure, relaxation, and refuge. For a company, it can be a useful asset for customer relations or business travel purposes. But whether you have work or play in mind, ownership means responsibility.

Are you considering buying a yacht or an aircraft? Let United deal with the responsibility, while you enjoy the benefits of ownership. We have been active in this very special market since 1998 and our connections ensure short lines of communication and seamless processes.

We sit down with you to discuss your situation and your wishes as well as the financial, legal and fiscal aspects. We ensure that the yacht or aircraft is properly acquired, registered in the agreed jurisdiction, well-structured as an asset, duly insured. We can arrange financing for you through our own bank. And through our preferred partners, we can also plan for the yacht or aircraft’s ongoing operation – providing everything from maintenance to fuel and crew.

United can handle all your ownership issues - or you can choose just what you need from our range of modular solutions.

• True know-how
• Establishment of suitable ownership structures
• Initial registration, either private or commercial
• Ongoing administration

Worldwide, policies are being developed to address the threat of global warming by curbing carbon emissions. A system of emissions trade is now in place in many countries, where companies are given limited emission permits and must offset any excess carbon emissions by purchasing permits (also called carbon credits) from others who have more than they need.

Pioneers

The financial sector was quick to develop innovative solutions to facilitate the trade in emissions rights. Several United people played a decisive role in pioneering the environmental markets and building the carbon business. Today, they are still among the reputable experts involved in the ongoing development of these markets - as well as still being part of our team.

As a carbon credit broker, United identifies and matches potential buyers and sellers. We also organise and manage carbon credit exchange platforms as well as auctions.

In the environmental markets, United can support you with a full range of services: trading and brokering, escrow and financing, clearing and custody. We can help you develop an environmental market strategy and manage your emissions-reduction transactions. We sit down with you to find a structure for your emissions rights that blends seamlessly with your own processes. And we can advise you on the financial aspects of your emissions reduction project.

Carbon funds

One way you can meet your emissions targets is by setting up a carbon fund. This is an investment fund that invests earmarked company money in emissions-reduction projects in developing countries. The projects generate carbon credits, which your company can use to offset its own emissions.

If you are considering setting up a carbon fund, why not talk to United? Not only do we have eminent environmental markets experts, we also have a dedicated team of highly experienced fund specialists in Luxembourg. We sit down with you and discuss your situation in detail. We help you choose the right fund structure and domicile, and can handle the entire process of creating and managing your fund. Allowing you to pursue your business goals.

• Escrow and Custody services
• Brokerage and Clearing
• Trading and Financing

Running a business or managing assets well is not a matter of avoiding risk at all cost, but of taking well-considered risks. Our state-of-the-art IT plays a key role in helping us identify your risks, but what really distinguishes United is our people.  Our risk experts are not only cautious, diligent and conscientious, but they are also fully up to date on global market conditions and can tap into a wealth of experience.

Increasing risk awareness
By taking the time to discuss the details of your situation with you, we help you increase your awareness of the business or investment risks you are taking. Then we help you assess whether these risks are in keeping with your financial goals. If not, we work out with you how to mitigate your risks.

We take on risk management as a personal responsibility. We always act in your long-term interest – and you can be certain that every once in a while, this will include saying no.
