New investment categories for institutional investors

Since April 1, 2006, MEAG has been offering institutional investment categories for four of our mutual funds.

Managing Director Dr. Robert Helm explains: "According to the IFRS accounting standards, institutional investors in mutual funds do not have to disclose the assests that the funds contain individually, unlike in other indirect investment classes. In addition, mutual funds can be valued and traded every trading day and have low transaction costs at MEAG."

In 2005, xtp Transaction Partners honoured MEAG for "Best Execution" in the field of equity funds.
