However, after seven years of running a successful AMC, the partnership entered a resolution in 2016, making UBI the sole proprietor of Union Mutual Fund for a brief period. Thereafter in 2017, Union Bank entered into a fresh partnership with Dai-ichi Life, one of Japan’s major financial services companies. The latter acquired a 39.62% stake in the AMC, and thus, Union Mutual Fund got its new name – Union Asset Management Co. Pvt. Ltd. View More

How to Invest in Union Fund?

Over the years, investing in stocks has marched on, and investors have become increasingly careful with how they invest. They know less about picking stocks and more about finding good companies to partner with for long-term business success. That is why some investors choose to invest in mutual funds over stocks. A mutual fund is a professionally managed type of investment that pools money from investors, who then get exposure to stock market investments in small portions.
