Focus, Expertise and Diversity
MBMs was founded in July 2012 by Ulrich L. Binninger, Georg Redlbacher and Alexandra von Kalnein. Each of the founding partners as well as the partners who joined later have been in the asset management industry for more than 25 years and bring together a unique mix of talents and experiences.
In addition to in-depth knowledge of markets and products, each partner has built trust-based relationships with institutional investors from different market segments.
All partners are multi-lingual and familiar with many different corporate and investment cultures. That experience and a detailed knowledge of the investment industry value chain is very beneficial to any investment firm aiming to enter selected European markets.
