In May, the rumors circulating in the market for a long time have been confirmed: UCP is a significant minority shareholder of Transneft. Ilya Sherbovich, Managing partner of UCP, said that his company had been buying Transneft shares because of expected growth of the company’s market capitalisation.
Established in 2006, United Capital Partners investment group has invested in major Russian assets ranging from agriculture to Internet technologies. UCP owns shares of the largest enterprises, including those with state ownership.
