- City of London Investment Group PLC (CLIG.L) is a United Kingdom-based asset management company that specializes in closed-end fund strategies through its two wholly owned subsidiaries. City of London Investment Management Company Limited (CLIM) offers emerging markets, international equity, opportunistic value, frontier markets, and real estate investment trust strategies primarily to institutional clients including pension funds, foundations, and endowments; Karpus Investment Management (KIM) provides closed-end fund strategies across all asset classes to wealth management clients in the United States. The firm employs proprietary quantitative tools, macroeconomic analysis, and trading expertise to deliver repeatable performance, benchmarking against indices such as S&P EM Frontier Super Comp., MSCI Emerging Markets Index, and MSCI ACWI ex US Index. Founded in 1991 and headquartered at 77 Gracechurch Street, London, EC3V 0AS, the group maintains additional offices in the United States, Singapore, Dubai, and other locations, serving long-term clients across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, and beyond. Funds under management reached $11.2 billion as of 30 September 2025, up 4% from the prior quarter, reflecting net inflows in private equity, high yield, and global strategies alongside ongoing corporate governance initiatives to narrow closed-end fund discounts; the 2020 merger with Karpus Investment Management expanded group assets by approximately 40% outside emerging markets, supporting a diversification from its historical emerging markets focus.
