Knight Vinke Asset Management
Encyclopedia
Knight Vinke is a highly focused and research driven institutional asset manager with particular expertise in energy and financial services.
The majority of its clients are amongst the largest public pension funds and sovereign investment institutions in the world and this gives it the ability to take a truly long-term approach to investing. Knight Vinke does not leverage its investments through the use of debt or short positions.
Knight Vinke uses fundamental research to identify value creation potential in complex public companies that are too large to be disciplined by the threat of takeover. These companies are frequently misunderstood, even by insiders, due to over-reliance on consolidated financial statements, information overload, and the use of wrong metrics to measure risk and performance.
Knight Vinke unlocks this value by engaging both in private and in public with the management, board and advisors of these companies. Recognizing the limitations of relying solely on shareholder support, Knight Vinke also engages with regulators, governments, taxpayers and other stakeholders who may have an alignment of interests with the shareholders.
