16 September 2010

Midas Capital plc rebranded MAM Funds plc

 

MAM Funds plc, formerly Midas Capital plc, the AIM quoted parent company of Midas Capital Partners and Miton Asset Management, was officially launched yesterday. The company's rebranding coincides with its capital restructure due to be completed by the end of September 2010.

 

Speaking at the event, Colin Rutherford, executive chairman, MAM Funds plc (MAMF), said: "Our name change and capital restructure opens a fresh chapter for the Group. By more closely aligning the plc's name with its two fund management companies Midas and Miton, the Group's brand mirrors its focus on UK fund management. Under the umbrella brand, MAM Funds, we can improve brand recognition, develop a single sales and marketing strategy and drive operational effectiveness.

"Our aim now is to focus the business on delivering enhanced performance for investors and shareholders. With these changes we are well placed for organic growth and to explore complementary value enhancing fund management opportunities."

MAMF is the parent company of its regulated subsidiaries Midas Capital Partners ltd and Miton Asset Management ltd. The name change represents the culmination of the Group's stated objective to focus on UK asset management following the disposal of its corporate advisory, wealth management and international fund management activities over the past twelve months.

 

With the approval of the court for the capital restructure, MAMF has been able to transfer £27m to distributable reserves through the cancellation of its non distributable share premium account, capital redemption reserve and deferred shares in issue. £5.4m of sale proceeds will be used to redeem Preference Shares, leaving approximately £7.4m in issue.

 

Going forward the company's trading brands will be MAM, MAM Funds, Midas Capital Partners ltd and Miton Asset Management ltd and there is a new Group website at www. mamfundsplc.com
