Research and development
MIFL undertakes significant proprietary R&D and collaborates with selected international partners, leveraging its open innovation platform and proprietary process (MedInSynC®), with a view to developing in-house solutions tailored to meet clients’ needs.
This ensures we can deliver value-adding investment products and services to our predominantly European retail client base. MIFL is also one of the pioneers for the protection of intellectual property in the funds industry and is very active in shaping evolving market best practice in this area.
Our mission is to maintain and develop a European platform for funds within the Mediolanum Group able to deliver compelling and innovative investment solutions.
Many companies within our industry create a product in isolation and then think about “how to sell” the product to investors.
MIFL is proud to be a company that thinks first about what our clients' needs, and only then about how we will deliver solutions to meet those needs.
MIFL will continue to maintain our focus on our clients' needs, targeting the highest quality standards for our investments. We have created the three following pillars to support this:
Product Solutions - Becoming a solutions provider for product creation and on-going care and maintenance i.e. “evolving the products”;
Client Focus - Focusing on our clients' needs, monitoring the product quality, and client investment behaviours; and
Trust through Transparency - Building trust through communicating product drivers and active positioning in a user-friendly manner.
Satisfying client needs - Clients are always our focus
Innovation - Adapting to market changes
High quality products - Transparency of investment solutions delivered to clients.
The value of relationships - Professional relationships and the spirit of co-operation.
We foster a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace. We believe diversity, equity and inclusion are essential to our success and every employee has a role to play in creating a respectful and welcoming environment.
We are committed to fostering an inclusive culture where everyone is respected and valued for their unique differences. We believe that a diverse workforce—encompassing a range of skills, experiences, backgrounds, genders, and ethnicities—enhances our collective strength. This inclusive environment fuels innovation and gives us a sustainable competitive edge. We strive to ensure every employee can thrive, contribute fully, and feel safe, respected, and equal in the workplace.
