MFS Expands in Germany, Wins Over Professional Investors
MFS, a renowned investment management firm, is making waves among professional investors with its popular Global Opportunistic Bond and Emerging Market Debt funds. Known for its active, responsible, and long-term approach, MFS has garnered attention for its prudent capital strategy that has shone during stock market downturns in 2018 and 2020.
In Germany, MFS has been a significant player for over a decade, with a branch office in Frankfurt serving both institutional investors and the wholesale area. The firm's seven colleagues in Frankfurt, including three dedicated to institutional investors and four in the wholesale sector, reflect its commitment to the German stock market. MFS aims to expand its staff and assets under management in Germany, one of its three key focus markets outside the USA, alongside Italy and Spain.
Markus Hampel joined MFS in late 2018 to bolster its presence and perception in Germany, particularly in the wholesale area. Despite not having publicly specified goals for 2022 in Germany, MFS's popularity is evident in the success of its Global Intrinsic Value equity fund and the European Research equity fund among its investors.
MFS's commitment to Germany is clear, with plans to grow its staff and assets. Its successful funds and prudent strategy have positioned it well among professional investors. While annual goals for 2022 in Germany are not explicitly stated, the firm's long-term vision and responsible approach continue to resonate with investors.
