CIAM: A Committed Shareholder

A Paris and London-based asset manager founded in 2010 that uses equity-based investment strategies to generate returns from its global approach to corporate events, and using activism as one of several tools to unlock shareholder value, where appropriate.

CIAM’s portfolio is quite concentrated with an average holding period of 1,8 years.

CIAM donates 25% of its annual performance fees to charities dedicated to improving children's health and education across the world.

Investment Philosophy

• CIAM’s objective is to provide lowly uncorrelated returns, through building positions around corporate events.
• Poor Corporate Governance as catalyst for investment and engagement.
• Engagement (ideally through constructive private dialogue) to extract value.
