“Conviction & Responsibility”: our core values since 1998.
Embedded in our name, Conviction AND Responsibility In Asset Management, these values have made our company what it is today. A firm that is led by conviction and is driven by a responsible approach to investing.
What is the conviction that has driven us since our inception?
Conviction means believing in the value of the work we do every day. Our mission is to deliver superior investment returns, solutions and service to our clients while managing our impact on society, the environment and all stakeholders.
It means trusting our expertise and our products and holding our people and practices to the highest standards. It also means challenging ourselves to never stop learning, leveraging different perspectives and recognising the importance of a global mindset to make the right decisions for our clients.
Responsibility is an essential value that we never compromise
We always prioritise our client needs and objectives. As long-term thinkers, we are deeply invested in the future success of our clients and people, and through our sustainable and responsible investment and business practices, we strive to be the best corporate citizen we can be for all our stakeholders.
We believe in conviction and responsibility in asset management
Investing for tomorrow
As a sustainable and responsible investor, engagement and stewardship activities are integral and indivisible components of our investment process. From voting at AGMs and having regular and constructive dialogues with our investee companies to leading and collaborating on industry-wide initiatives and setting our own policies, we strive to make a difference and invest for tomorrow.
Our culture is driven by people who care deeply about doing the right thing - and doing it sustainability. In our view that is a distinguishing feature of Candriam and shapes how we interact with each other and our investors. It makes us steer clear of risky short-term behaviour and it helps us anticipate influential trends. Importantly, it strengthens our commitment to be a reliable and trustworthy partner that is able to create long-term sustainable value for clients in a fast-changing world.
It is our duty, not only as investors, but also as responsible citizens, to ensure that we continue to create value for all our stakeholders: our clients, our employees, our shareholders and the people in communities where we live and operate.
Candriam is an investment company with sustainable investing at its core. We strive to walk the talk and hold ourselves to the same high standards we expect from the companies we invest in.
Our ambition is to combine responsible investment and philanthropy in our daily work with communities to help build a society that leaves no-one behind.
Our belief that investment should be a driving force in the transition towards a more sustainable economy has led Candriam to develop a platform that gives everyone the opportunity to learn about sustainable investing.
To that end, CANDRIAM created in 2017 the Candriam Academy, the world's first free-to-access online training program on ESG investing.
12,000 investors from 40 countries have already taken the course!
We share the values that guide our teams on a daily basis with leading hockey and football clubs and federations.

The roots of responsible investment at Candriam run deep. They date back to 1996, when only a few pioneers were interested in the subject. That year, Candriam launched its first sustainable fund. Today, we are a global leader in ESG, managing more than €100 billion in ESG-related assets and offering over 30 sustainable strategy products covering all asset classes and global markets.
Candriam is a subsidiary of New York Life Investments, a $650+ billion global investment company comprised of the asset management operations affiliated with our parent company, New York Life Insurance Company (New York Life). New York Life is one of the largest and oldest mutual life insurance companies in the United States. It has the highest credit ratings for financial strength currently assigned to any life insurer by the four major rating agencies, and has consistently paid annual dividends to its policyholders since 1854.
