MPM was founded by Günter E. Maier as personally liable partner in April 1983 in Bern the swiss capital city as commercial partnership under the name of MPM Maier & Cie. At the time the focus of the service was in financial analysis and it was only later that it developed into direct portfolio management. At the time in Europe, the bank-independent asset management of securities was in its infancy. In those days, the stock market reports in the newspapers were only a modest place alongside the weather forecast. In addition, the range of financial products and funds offered by the banks was rather poor and the demands of investors modest. Thereby the majority of the private banks were still in possession of personally liable families and hardly accessible to the ordinary citizens.

However, the stock market crash in October 1987 sharpened the awareness of better quality, better risk management and better financial products and Private Banking became a mass business.

In 1993 MPM Consulting AG was founded in the Canton of Zug as a consulting company for wealth protection. This company was renamed into MPM Swiss AG in 2000 and is still the central asset management and family office services company till today.

This track record forced MPM to undertake a fundamental reorganization in 2000. MPM moved into friendly, modern offices and the operations were clearly seperated. Moreover MPM Vermögensverwaltung G.E. Maier in Zug handed over the analysis and asset management to MPM Asset Management Ltd. Bermuda with contracts under Swiss Law. In addition, MPM Consulting AG was renamed to MPM Swiss AG and now exclusively offers back-office and reporting services. In 2007 the range of services was expanded by offering asset protection services from an organisational and legal sense and the best certified specialists were integrated in the global network.
