Technical precision and human passion - The Carmignac Sonic Identity
Carmignac created its own sonic identity with an original creation taking its inspiration from the musical universe of the contemporary composer, Steve Reich. This sonic identity emphasizes how important it is to combine the technical precision and the human passion, the individual talents and the collective mindset, all those elements that we nurture everyday as an asset management company.
THE CARMIGNAC FONDATION
Founded in 2000 by Édouard Carmignac, the Fondation Carmignac is a corporate foundation structured around two main pillars: a contemporary art collection of more than 300 works, and the Carmignac Photojournalism Award that annually supports an investigative report that is the subject of an exhibition and a catalogue. In partnership with the Fondation Carmignac was inaugurated a new location accessible to the public: the Villa Carmignac on the island of Porquerolles where exhibitions and cultural events take place.
