Clear-cutColibri AM characteristics

Our commitments

=

Transparency

The foundation of Colibri AM is transparency.

We disagree with those companies which advertise ESG investments for their image while at the same time little fundamental change emerges from the core activities (i.e. tiny windmill investments made by oil companies).

=

Socially Responsible Investments

Colibri AM’s main commitment targets ESG investments with a concrete impact, which is guided by our proprietary ESG rating framework to support environmental and social sustainability.

Our ratings hold a 50 % weighting for the environment, 30% for social values and 20% governance.

=

Securing investor capital

Risk management of the investment strategies is dependent upon asset diversification.

The investment fund is therefore largely constructed from a bottom/up standpoint to generate sustainable excess returns over the long term.

=

Profit sharing fund

Colibri AM’s mission is to raise funds for local projects, which preserve the environment and support social causes.

    He was responsible for internal risk management, periodic publications, client management, as well as the IT migration of new client contracts.
    In 2019 he took over the accounting management of the funds and worked closely in tandem with the fund managers, including Frédéric Hamm. 

    At the same time, he was responsible for the VMP Gestion website, in particular the weekly maintenance of the fund pages and the publication of articles by the fund managers.

    In 2020, he joined Michel Camilleri for the creation of Colibri AM.

    Frédéric Hamm

    In 2020, he decided to join Michel Camilleri to create SRI funds with Colibri AM.

    He differentiates himself in portfolio management (25 years of experience) with the analysis of financial ratios, competitive advantages of companies and valuation.

    Marc Frippiat

    Asset Manager

    Following Marc’s studies (BA Economics, MBA Finance), he began working at broker Dewaay Securities in Brussels (Belgian equity institutional sales), he subsequently moved to Fortis Private Banking (portfolio manager US/World equities), then joined the European Equities team of Fortis Investments in Paris (financial analyst covering the technology and industrial sectors), evolved as European equity fund manager at BNP Paribas Asset Management and after the merger became investment specialist for the emerging market capabilities.

    Experience of different investment processes throughout three crises (technology bubble bursting, Great Recession, coronavirus) have permitted him to create outperforming, long-only equity strategies across geographies in bull/bear markets. The applied fundamental analysis focuses on sustainable business models, catalysts and valuation.

    After thirty years in asset management, the long-lasting question of how financial markets can bring more concrete contributions to society will be addressed with a profit sharing fund. Marc joined Michel Camilleri in 2020 to launch truly socially responsible funds at Colibri Asset Management.
