Vice-president of capital markets and funds
CMI Group

As VP of capital markets and funds, Julian Clas is a driving force behind the success of CMI Mortgage Investment Corporation, an important piece of CMI Group. In 2019, Clas successfully grew the MIC’s assets under management by over 100% and helped it become the first MIC to be offered on several leading exchange platforms. Thanks to his efforts, the CMI MIC has also obtained exposure within the investment advisor community. Currently, Clas is working to launch the newest CMI Group offering: the CMI MIC Fund II, a high-yield MIC.

“I’m not one for individual awards, since it’s very much the team at CMI that exemplifies what it means to be a success in this industry,” Clas says of being recognized on CMP’s Hot List. “The most important lesson that I’ve found throughout my career is the importance of surrounding yourself with good people who respect one another and have the desire to move forward together.”
