Service for hedge fund managers
Our investors and fund managers work with MGI, since our CEO Marcel Melis is knowledgeable about the hedge fund industry and has a history of success.
In 2006 Marcel founded Energy Capital Management (AuM $150 ml) to manage the MMT Energy Fund until 2010.
Marcels’ family office has a significant hedge fund and real estate exposure. In 2010 Marcel founded MGI to serve as a global distributor for a selected group of best-in-class hedge funds. All MGI distribution fees are invested in funds.
We raised about $1 billion for about 20 funds since our start in 2010.
In 2023 Marcel co-founded Fund of Funds Swaen Melis Fund (SMF) with Cliff Go at Swaen Capital.
Our global team has the resources to introduce our managers to over 3000 investors.
We will only connect our managers to the right investors that match the investment profile.
Most of our investors are located across Europe, North America, Asia and Middle East.
We only recommend high quality hedge funds that match the search profile of our investors.
We are selective with the hedge funds that we are adding to our platform and only work with about 20 managers.
