CIM Capital, LLC, established in 2015 and headquartered in Los Angeles, is a privately held investment manager with approximately $2.7 billion in AUM. It operates as a multi-strategy fund manager across hedge fund and private equity structures, serving institutional clients and acting as an advisor to pooled investment vehicles. The firm's activities extend to broker-dealer services, CPO/CTA roles, real estate brokerage, and sponsor/GP responsibilities. Their investment strategy is multi-faceted, encompassing traditional and alternative investments with an active approach to ESG. While specific sector and stage preferences are not detailed for the US entity, their involvement in private equity and focus on distressed companies suggest a preference for value-add and opportunistic plays. A distinct Belgian entity, CIM Capital, founded in 2015/2016, focuses on growth equity in Belgium, investing in companies needing restructuring or transformation, and has raised 65 million euros for a private equity fund. This entity also operates CIM Ventures for smaller deals. The broader CIM Group, founded in 1994, has over $30 billion in AUM and focuses on real estate, infrastructure, and private credit globally, with a strategy of creating value through robust real asset equity and credit platforms. CIM Group is expanding in Europe, with an office in London, and is interested in living, digital, and social impact real assets. The text highlights the distinction between CIM Capital, LLC (US RIA), CIM Capital (Belgium PE), and CIM Group (global real assets).
