The other is a long/short factor fund that follows a pure alpha strategy to profit from positive and negative factor exposure.
The seed capital for both the new funds will be offered by Railpen.
Unigestion managing director and head of equities Alexei Jourovski added: "We believe that factor allocation can be improved by better risk management, taking into account market and sector characteristics and actively assessing top-down and stock-level risk in the portfolio construction.
"Moreover, as equity factors tend to be cyclical, we can significantly improve the risk return profile of the strategy by allocating between factors at different points of the market cycle."
