Our People and values

Ever since its creation, Carmignac has been striving to bring the best of active and alternative asset management to investors and doing so, to give them an access to superior investment solutions that are designed in their best interest.

Carmignac’s employees are committed to going further and giving the best of themselves to achieve this goal.

Our culture

At Carmignac, corporate culture is a precious asset. It has been nurtured for more than thirty years around a few cornerstone principles:

Alignment of interest with our clients stands above all other considerations.
A deeply ingrained independence.
A passion for excellence.
An unwavering commitment.
An entrepreneur-minded culture.
A unique combination of talents and strong convictions.
A long-term vision.

Our values are at the heart of our collective strength. They are more relevant today than ever.

Our values

Company values are not just the “little extra”.
They are the basis of our inspiration each day to guide our actions and shape our interactions and collaboration.
Whatever the challenges we face, our four values make up the compass that helps us to move forward.

INDEPENDENCE

The independence of Carmignac gives sense to what we do and inspires employees to actively participate and take ownership.

ACCOUNTABILITY

We bring our speech in line with our actions in every way: towards our clients, our team members and ourselves.

TEAM SPIRIT

Our strength is a result of the combination of talents and skills of all employees. We stand together at all times.

COURAGE

We are confident to ensure we do what we believe in.

DIVERSITY AT CARMIGNAC

Our constant search for excellence naturally leads to diversity. It is precisely because we have no objective other than efficiency that we give opportunities to all those who can help us achieve it. We do not favour any particular profile, other than the careers and experiences that can enrich us.

Diversity of thought in the workplace

We nurture a collaborative approach and a deeply rooted culture of debate. This leads us to look for talents from diverse backgrounds, bringing additional perspectives to form strong convictions. In Carmignac’s workplace, almost 40 different nationalities interact and collaborate on a daily basis.

We believe all forms of diversity lead to better performance and risk management. The broad range of viewpoints plays an essential role in this respect and is an integral part of our role as an active fund manager.

Carmignac's female leadership development programme

In 2021, a study by McKinsey & Company revealed a fifty-fifty split between men and women at entry level in asset management businesses. However, the percentage of women in board-level or C-suite positions dropped to 14%.
At Carmignac, we are proud to have senior role models such as Maxime Carmignac, Rose Ouahba, Marie-Anne Allier and Haiyan Li-Labbé to inspire women in their careers and we want to go further.

Carmignac is committed to attracting experts in our industry including talented women for whom we offer support via our female leadership development programme.

Several years of commitment

In 2016, Maxime Carmignac was a founding member of the Diversity Project in the UK which aims to improve diversity within the investment industry. She created and facilitated the mid-career working group, which highlighted four measures to be taken to support the progression of women: the emergence of realistic female role models both internally and externally, work flexibility, coaching to encourage women to pursue opportunities and finally, a commitment from men to promote gender diversity.

Carmignac is also committed to improving diversity among end investors. The launch of Carmignac Portfolio Grandchildren in 2019 was the first concrete step in this process. Research suggests that women want certain characteristics from their investment: a clear strategy focused on selecting "very good quality" companies over the very long term, a concentrated portfolio with a low turnover rate, an ESG approach at the heart of the investment process and the objective of generating long-term capital growth.
This fund was partly designed to meet the expectations and reservations of women when it comes to investment.

Maxime endeavours to raise awareness through the media, podcasts, conferences and open editorials by encouraging women to take control of their savings and to correct what is a glaring inequality.
