MIR rebrands as Metisq Capital
MIR Investment Management has rebranded to become Metisq Capital Pty Ltd.
The specialist emerging equities fund manager announced the rebranding exercise this week, and it follows on from Fidante Partners (a division of Challenger Limited) having acquired a stake in the company earlier this year.
Commenting on the rebranding, Metisq chief executive John Beggs said it was felt the change was necessary following the recent corporate changes and as a signal of the company’s commitment to Asia and China.
The firm currently has $1 billion in funds under management, and its teams of analysts – led by chief investment officer Kenny Tjan – are located in Singapore, Sydney and Melbourne.
The company said ‘Metisq’ is derived from the word 'metis', which in Greek mythology refers to both wisdom and deep thought.
