Fund management firms Mainfirst Asset Management and Ethenea Independent Investors are merging their distribution services.

The move will create a newly formed company, Fenthum, based in Luxembourg.

All three companies – Mainfirst, Ethenea and Fenthum – are majority-owned by Swiss firm Haron Holding, controlled by Luca Pesarini.

In a statement, Mainfirst said Fenthum would take over the distribution support activities for both fund managers with immediate effect.

The company said the decision would also provide a wider selection of funds for customers.
