We're thrilled to share our journey and were recently featured in Black Enterprise. As a boutique investment firm based in Chicago, our mission has always been to deliver exceptional value to our clients through intrinsic value investing.
Since our inception in 2003 by our co-founders Rodney Herenton and Wendell Mackey, we've steadily grown from humble beginnings to managing over $4 billion in assets as of last December. Now, we're projecting to reach $5 billion by 2025, a testament to our commitment to excellence.
At the core of our success lies our dedication to understanding a company's true investment worth and forming strategic partnerships. Our research-intensive strategies, particularly in small-cap investing, have consistently yielded results for our clients.
We're excited about our subsidiaries, Channing Global Advisors and Channing Alternatives, which offer diverse investment opportunities in emerging markets and non-correlated asset classes. These expansions reflect our vision for long-term growth and innovation.
Being featured in Black Enterprise highlights our dedication to empowering investors, particularly within the black community. We understand the importance of representation in the investment world and strive to make a meaningful impact through our work.
As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we're grateful for the support of our clients and partners. With a focus on delivering value and driving growth, we're excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.
Thank you, Black Enterprise, for recognizing our journey.
