Across the organization we have more than 25 investment professionals with broad experience in virtually every sector, industry and transaction type. Our approach provides genuine synergy in:
- Corporate governance and compliance
- Marketing and sales
- Financial reporting and control
- Personnel and recruiting
- Administration
- Information technology
- Research and development
Our specialty asset managers devote 100% of their time to searching out, evaluating, structuring and monitoring investments without the distraction of operational and administrative issues.
Our structure offers investors the best of both public and private companies. Since IAM is publicly listed, clients have the comfort and confidence of the openness, transparency and regulatory oversight of a public firm. We have independent directors and are subject to all of the reporting, compliance and corporate governance obligations of public Canadian companies.
There is just one class of voting shares. At the same time, full-time management own a majority of the stock, thus ensuring alignment of interest.
Our clients must succeed for us to succeed. Each of the specialty investment teams has a significant portion of its compensation tied directly to the performance of the client accounts under their management.
IAM calls on the diverse skills of all of its employees to construct innovative alternative investment solutions that consistently exceed client expectations. Our team has combined so far to launch 45 different funds; 12 real estate, 3 private debt, 1 private equity, 4 commodity and 25 retail alternative investment funds.
There is a significant cross referral of deals amongst the group. This synergy in deal flow is a major advantage to each and every specialty manager and to IAM as a whole.
As a single purpose company, we focus exclusively on alternative investment solutions, undistracted by competing priorities. As an independent, management controlled firm, we are free of most conflicts that affect larger financial institutions. In particular, we do not undertake:
- Brokerage activities
- Banking or investment banking
Committed to leadership in the industry, our research and development ensures that we stay on top of emerging trends and strategies with a view to making certain that our products and management are subject to continuous improvement. IAM is an unmatched combination of talent, skill and capacity. Everything that we do is calculated to extract the maximum value from all of the resources of the group.
