Family & Founder Fund

The objective of the Fund is to generate long term returns by investing in a range of listed securities. The Fund will invest in a portfolio of stocks that meet CI's guidelines of founder led, family linked or employee owned companies.
Investment Strategy

In constructing the portfolio, we narrow down the investable universe to those the Manager designates as founder led, family linked or employee owned.

We use our VOF research process to assess individual companies, industries and countries and to construct a portfolio that aims to achieve the risk and return objectives.  The level of exposure to specific industries  and markets will be selected using CI’s VOF framework.

The Fund will be constructed with limited reference to the Benchmark and therefore the returns of the Fund may significantly vary from the Benchmark returns. The Fund has a long term investment horizon. It is a long only portfolio of 15-30 stocks. CI believes that over the long term sustainable returns within acceptable risk parameters can be achieved through CI’s small, focused, experienced team applying our VOF investment process and selecting the best stocks from the universe without reference to benchmarks and short term performance.
