UBS Capital (now part of UBS Asset Management's Real Estate and Private Markets business) is the private equity investment arm of the Swiss multinational financial services firm UBS.

UBS Capital represents the historical and integrated private equity activities of UBS, which emerged in its modern form following the 1998 merger of Union Bank of Switzerland and Swiss Bank Corporation. The firm consolidated various asset management operations, including Phillips & Drew and Brinson Partners, to form a unified global entity. Over time, the private equity business was integrated into the Real Estate and Private Markets area within the UBS Asset Management division to provide systematic products and services for institutional and private clients.

The firm operates as part of a global bulge-bracket bank with a significant presence in major financial centers such as Zurich, London, New York, Chicago, and Singapore. Its private equity capabilities are often combined with infrastructure and real estate investments to offer multi-asset strategies. As part of a larger financial group, it benefits from extensive research, underwriting, and capital market access, serving a diverse client base that includes half of the world's billionaires and numerous global pension funds.
