SRI Expertise since 1996
In addition to standard strategies, at Candriam, we offer a specialist SRI product range based on the joint work of our team of dedicated SRI analysts and each of our investment teams. Our SRI funds cover equities, fixed income and asset allocation strategies and the European, North American, Asia-Pacific and emerging market regions.
Our approach towards SRI involves selecting firms with leading Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices in their field, direct dialogue with companies to encourage them to improve their behavior, and a proxy voting process that we have been refining since 2003.
Overall, 32% of our total assets under management are invested in SRI strategies (as of June 2019).
Structure
In addition to our investment teams located in Brussels, Paris, Luxembourg and London, we have teams on the ground in nine European countries, close to the clients that we serve.

The company is headed by an executive committee composed of 9 people presided over by Naïm Abou-Jaoudé, CEO. Vincent Hamelink, CFA, is CIO Fundamental Investments, Fabrice Cuchet is CIO Alternative Investments and Renato Guerriero is Global Head of Distribution.
