What Megaqm does

Megaqm (legal name MEGA QM S.A.) is an Argentine asset manager registered as AAPIC-FCI No. 35 with the Comisión Nacional de Valores, operating as an administrator of Fondos Comunes de Inversión (FCI). The firm was created through the fusion of two independent asset managers backed by two of Argentina's largest economic groups, the first such merger in the country's history. Megaqm administers 17+ FCIs spanning peso- and dollar-denominated money market, fixed income, inflation-linked, equity, ESG, SME financing, infrastructure, and Latin American corporate strategies, with ARS $1.2+ trillion in assets under administration and 5,000+ clients across individual, HNW, corporate, institutional, and SME segments.

The underlying platform combines a 100% digital onboarding flow (four-step account opening with photo/video identity verification, investment simulator, and risk profiling questionnaire), direct API integrations with 110+ ACDI distribution partners and virtual wallet providers, and a client portal for subscription, redemption, and portfolio tracking. The technology stack is conventional asset-management infrastructure rather than AI-driven: rules-based portfolio construction, T+0 to T+2 settlement, and cuotaparte valuation with external ratings from FIX SCR, Moody's, and Fitch Argentina. Three custodian banks (BST, Banco Comafi, Banco de Valores) provide depository services.

Megaqm's business model is asset-based management fees (honorarios de administración) ranging from 0.10% to 3.50% annually depending on share class (A, B, L, E) and fund type, with no subscription or redemption commissions and minimums starting at ARS $1,000 or USD $100. Distribution runs through a hybrid go-to-market combining self-serve digital onboarding for individuals, a dedicated Equipo Canales sales team for institutional, corporate, and HNW clients, and the 110+ ACDI intermediary network that delivers one of the broadest indirect-placement footprints among Argentine fund managers.
