History

In October 2003, MFM established its first public fund, MFM Global Convertible Bonds (CHF), with the Swiss Franc as its reference currency.[10] In April 2005, MFM Mirante Fund Management added a second type of EUR for the MFM Global Convertible Bonds.

In February 2008, the company opened a branch in Zurich to serve the German-speaking community of Europe.[11]

In July 2008, the Swiss Federal Banking Commission granted MFM Mirante Fund Management Asset Manager status.[12] At the end of that year, following the correction in the financial markets,[13] the company launched a fund mainly based on the yield and credit aspects of convertible bonds,[14] called MFM Convertible Bonds Opportunities.[15][16]

Six years later, the firm chose a new custodian bank, Pictet, as well as a new fund management company, FundPartner Solutions SA.[17]

In 2009 and in 2013, MFM Global Convertible Bonds (CHF)[18] fund won the Refinitiv Lipper Fund Award in the "Bond Convertible Global" category.[19][20]

In 2014, MFM Global Thematic Long/Short[21] was created and managed by a frequent spokesman of Bloomberg and CNBC.[22][23]

In 2015, all MFM FUND's Swiss funds were transferred to MFM Funds (Lux), SICAV Luxembourg.[24][25]
