BCM & Partners the independent fund management business said today that they have concluded their merger with asset manager C-Quadrat.

The combined firm will lead to a Pan-European business that is capable of delivering a broader range of product expertise and will enable BCM to access C-Quadrat’s network and attract new investors across Europe.

BCM was formed in 2005 by a group of executives from Morgan Stanley and specialised in fixed income projects.

Prior to the time of the merger, BCM had over €1 billion ($1.35 billion) in assets under management (AuM), whose half is from private banks and family offices.

C-Quadrat has now totalled $4.7 billion of AuM, as PBI understood from the groups’ merger announcement conference in BCM’s London office today in the evening.

This specialisation compliments German firm C-Quadrat’s existing expertise in the discretionary, absolute and total return strategies.
