Innovation

Innovation drives our efforts to strengthen our business model, expand partnerships, empower employees, build shareholder trust, and most importantly, deliver lasting value to clients.

Our vision to transform into a predictive enterprise is driving superior client experiences and investment excellence through AI-driven insights, streamlined operations, and sustainable, scalable growth. This vision is the cornerstone of our innovation strategy, guiding us in leveraging cutting-edge technologies to drive progress and achieve our goals.

Key elements of our innovation strategy include:

  • Investment in AI capabilities
  • Integration with existing technology
  • Focus on scalability and efficiency
  • Proactive approach to innovation

By aligning our vision with our innovation strategy, we create a dynamic environment that fosters growth, enhances client experiences, and drives investment excellence.

MIFL's approach to product development is client solution-led rather than product-led, advocating for diversification and long-term investing. Our proprietary product development platform, MedInSynC®, allows for the quick identification of new market trends and opportunities as well as removing manual bottlenecks, and enable data-driven decision-making across the R&D pipeline.

Over the past three years, each MedInSynC cycle has attracted 60–70 asset managers as participants, representing over 85% of global AUM. 

Combined with Med³® (Mediolanum’s in-house proprietary investment process) we have an innovation network that powers  our new product delivery

Additionally, MIFL continues to lead on sustainable investing, regularly expanding our sustainable investments range and ensuring we are aligned

  • Strategic and Tactical Asset Allocation
  • Multi-Manager Selection and Portfolio Construction
  • Single-Security and Quantitative Investment Processes 
  • Risk Oversight and Governance
  • Open Architecture and Co-Development

This process is deeply embedded in the firm’s governance and operational structure and is used to manage over €65 billion in assets across 73 funds.

Empowering our people is central to Mediolanum International Funds innovation strategy, equipping staff with the skills to work smarter, solve creatively, and drive a culture of continuous improvement.
