At iM Global Partner we are obsessed with finding the best entrepreneurial asset managers in the world. Our definition of ‘best’ is quite specific. We are looking for companies that we believe have teams that have successfully withstood multiple market cycles, have a time-tested investment philosophy, have a consistent and long track record, and are still ready to grow in the future. This isn’t always easy to find and not all entrepreneurial companies have these characteristics, but all of our Partners do. Once chosen, part of our job is also keeping on top of our Partners’ performance and reactions to different market cycles. Making sure, for ourselves as well as our clients, that they are doing what they promised. Fortunately, we have not been disappointed on this front either. Recently we analyzed the 31 strategies managed by our 10 different Partners and were pleased to discover that 84% of them are in the top 3 deciles for risk-adjusted performance since their respective inceptions. Well done to our Partners for this great result! *Performance Gross & Rankings as of 30 June 2024. The ranking analysis is based on: • The gross performance of 31 strategies (with AuM ranging from $0.2Bn to $50.2Bn) managed by iM Global Partner’s 10 Partners • An analyzed AuM that represents $111.2Bn, i.e. 89% of the total unprorated Partners’ AuM • Performance and rankings measured with a long-term perspective, i.e. since the respective inceptions of the analyzed funds (over 20 years for 10 out of the 31 funds and over 10 years for 13 of them) • Sharpe ratio measure for the risk-adjusted performance analysis
