Named after Greek mythology’s wisest centaur, Chiron Investment Management is a boutique investment manager that takes a quantamental (quantitative and fundamental) approach to evaluating investments. Overseeing a billion dollars in assets, the firm currently manages three U.S. mutual funds and one European collective asset-managed vehicle.
Chiron Investment Management Background
Prior to 2020, Chiron Investment Management was a wholly owned, direct subsidiary of Chiron Global Investors, LLC. However, the firm was completely purchased by Frankling Square Holdings, LP in February of 2020. Today, the firm has been integrated with FS Investment Solutions, LLC, which is headquartered in Philadelphia. The firm's original group of founders was Enrico Gaglioti, Ryan Caldwell, Marc Spilker and Scott Prince, all of whom created the firm in 2015.

Services Offered by Chiron Investment Management
Chiron offers discretionary investment management services through three mutual funds, one UCITS fund, other pooled investment vehicles funds and separately managed accounts. It also provides sub-advisory services to unaffiliated investment companies, collective investment trusts and foreign collective investment funds.
Chiron Investment Management Investing Philosophy
Chiron is an active multi-asset manager who has developed two proprietary tools that quantify fundamental factors, “The Chiron Domain Indicator” and “The Chiron Dispersion Indicator.” It uses them, it says, to “help identify the investment environment within which to allocate capital." The firm believes that “when it can recognize what conditions are being rewarded, it can assess the degree to which valuations are differentiated” - and allocate capital accordingly.
The firm notes that it can be growth or value oriented, depending on the markets.
Fees Under Chiron Investment Management
Chiron Investment Management collects management fees from its funds based on a percentage of assets under management. For its three U.S. mutual funds, the annual percentage is 0.90% to 0.95%. It will negotiate fees for separate accounts.
What to Watch Out For
Chiron Investment Management has no legal or regulatory disclosures in its most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
