UNIQA Insurance Group

CEO Andreas Brandstetter oversees the group's investment strategy and sits on the board of STRABAG SE, one of Europe's largest construction companies. UNIQA manages its proprietary assets through an in-house investment team operating from the UNIQA Tower in Vienna. The group's investment committee directs allocations across real estate, private credit, infrastructure, and growth equity.

UNIQA's sourcing advantage comes from its strategic relationship with Raiffeisen Bank International, a major shareholder with deep corporate and real estate lending relationships across Central and Eastern Europe. The group also originates deals through its own insurance branch network operating in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania, giving it direct access to local asset owners and developers.

UNIQA owns several trophy commercial assets in Austria, including the UNIQA Tower and Galaxy 21 in Vienna, plus regional offices in Salzburg and Innsbruck. Its CEE real estate portfolio holds mixed-use properties across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. The group manages these assets directly rather than through external real estate fund managers.

UNIQA operates primarily through direct investments and balance-sheet deployment rather than as a fund-of-funds allocator. The group directly owns real estate, makes direct co-investments in platforms such as LARA Medical Health Network, and deploys into private credit and infrastructure on its own balance sheet.

UNIQA joined the UN-convened Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance in 2023, committing its entire investment portfolio to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. It is a founding member of the Austrian Green Finance Alliance and participates in the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials, which mandates transparent carbon accounting across all asset classes.

UNIQA Versicherungsverein Privatstiftung, a private foundation, is the largest shareholder with 49% of voting rights. Raiffeisen Bank International AG holds a significant minority stake and functions as a strategic distribution partner. The remaining shares trade on the Vienna Stock Exchange, where UNIQA is a member of the ATX index.

UNIQA operates two foundations: the UNIQA Foundation, focused on social welfare in Austria, and the UNIQA SEE Future Foundation, which supports economic development and disaster relief across the group's Southeastern European markets. Both foundations are legally separate entities from the insurance balance sheet.
