ABOUT US

When we started Mpartners, we began managing partners’ money only. Over the years we have had the privilege of clients joining us to have their money looked after in the same, sustainable way.

In our previous occupations we often had clients request us to: ‘Manage my money as you would manage your own’. We are now in the fortunate position to be doing just that.

Our vision? Sustainable value investing. A very common-sense approach to investing your own money. A focus on sustainability ensures that the companies are run for the long term and make a positive contribution to society. A focus on value ensures that the companies are purchased at a reasonable price therefore minimising the risk of permanent capital loss. We invite you to contact us today so that we can introduce ourselves and our company.

OUR CLIENTS

Since we all invest in the same portfolios, our clients can be confident that there is no conflict of interest.

Our joint goal is simple: ‘Make a reasonable return, with a strong focus on capital protection by investing in a sustainable, value-oriented manner’.

Further points which our clients find important are:

  • Liquidity – our portfolios are all highly liquid, with over 90% daily liquidity.
  • Transparency – our clients always know how we are investing and why – via quarterly reports, timely updates and 24/7 on-line access to their accounts.
  • Transparent management fee. Which is also our only source of income, so no other loyalties than to our clients.
  • Direct contact with a partner. Bored of hitting redial, or communicating with a chatbot? A partner, invested in the same way as you are is only a direct call (or visit) away.
  • We are independent. We own the shares of the company. We can decide quickly and independently since we have no allegiances with any other parties.
