A rapidly evolving sector offering investment opportunities.
Switzerland has always cultivated a world-renowned tradition of hospitality, based on attention to detail and exceptional service passed down from generation to generation. This heritage has given rise to a culture of excellence recognised throughout the world.
But hospitality is not limited to the hotel sector. We like to define hospitality as places designed to welcome guests:
- Places to stay,
- Places to live,
- Places to care for others
Today, this sector is undergoing a period of transformation:
- Social and demographic changes are driving growing demand for educational establishments, student accommodation and care homes for the elderly.
- At the same time, many existing hotel properties require refurbishment, energy efficiency improvements, refinancing or solutions to address succession-related challenges.
Together, these trends are creating a new landscape of investment opportunities: repositioning existing properties, meeting ever-changing needs and creating long-term value.
It is this realisation that led us to launch the Swiss Hospitality Fund, managed by David Delarive, who recently joined the MFM Group.
The aim is to deliver sustainable value creation for investors, operators and local economies, whilst contributing to the development of the hospitality sector in Switzerland.
This investment approach meets the needs of this rapidly evolving sector and is structured around a diversified portfolio comprising three complementary segments:
• hotels – for accommodation;
• managed residences – for living (notably student and retirement homes);
• social and public infrastructure – for hosting (notably schools).
Different uses, but the same underlying principle: investing in places designed to welcome people at different stages of their lives.
This complementarity is one of the key features of the strategy. Rather than concentrating investments on a single asset class, the fund combines hospitality segments with different profiles. The aim is to spread risk more effectively, to strike a balance between return potential and income stability, and to strengthen the portfolio’s resilience in the face of market changes.
The fund range is expanding and the team is growing
Mirante Fund Management SA is therefore continuing its growth with a two-pronged approach: expanding its range of funds with the launch of the Swiss Hospitality Fund, and strengthening its presence in French-speaking Switzerland with the arrival of Agathe Proust on the team.
With 20 years’ experience, Agathe has built her career across both asset management and wealth management. These complementary experiences have given her a 360° view of finance and a detailed understanding of investors’ needs.
Her experience in institutional investment is particularly relevant to the current development of MFM’s business and MFM Real Estate.
