What’s in the name?

Mtree refers to Maidenhair Tree, the old popular name of the Ginkgo Biloba. This is a fascinating and unique species of tree. As a species it traces back more than 200 million years and individual trees can live longer than 3000 years. This enormous tenacity was again made clear in more recent history when it was one of the very few living things that survived the A-bomb blast in Hiroshima.

Surely it is with this symbolic reference to tenacity, strength and sustainability in mind that Mtree Capital Partners chose its name. It is reflective of the believe of Mtree Capital Partners in the role that it can play alongside boutique investment management organisations and institutional investors in building stronger portfolios, a more sustainable investment management industry and a more stable financial eco-system as whole.
