Pre UML 2.4 the convention was non-navigable ends were assumed to be owned by the Association whereas navigable ends were assumed to be owned by the Classifier at the opposite end. This convention is now deprecated. So in UML 2.5 navigability and ownership are separate concepts.
Directionality of the relationship should not be used to derive ownership.
