CIC undertakes its investments based on a set of principles:
- CIC selects investments based on economic and financial objectives, and an assessment of the commercial return.
- CIC allocates capital and assets within the given risk tolerance of the owner to maximize shareholder value.
- CIC usually does not seek an active role in the companies in which it invests nor attempts to influence those companies’ operations.
- CIC seeks long-term, stable, sustainable, and risk-adjusted return.
From its inception, CIC has emphasized the importance of operating responsibly – from how it runs itself and treats employees to how it selects investments. It is committed to operating responsibly and in full compliance of the laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which it invests. CIC strives to contribute to the prosperity and development of local economies.
