KERN Group changes name to Azimuth Capital Management

CALGARY, Nov. 26, 2015 /CNW/ - In recognition of the growth and evolution of our organization, we are pleased to announce a change of our name to Azimuth Capital Management. Over the past 15 years, the company has evolved from a focused financial advisory firm to one of the leading energy sector private equity managers in Canada.  With the ongoing commitments of our limited partners, Azimuth now has $1.6 billion of assets under direct management and an additional $1.7 billion of commitments in a unique co-investment program.  The change in name is intended to reinforce our commitment to working closely with our limited partners and portfolio companies in navigating the dynamic energy environment. 

Azimuth is a term in navigation defined as an angular measurement to align with an object or location.  The world's early explorers used Polaris, the North Star, along with the azimuth as a reference to lead and navigate to new opportunity.  At Azimuth, successfully navigating energy is what we do.

Azimuth is a differentiated team of 18 professionals with operating, executive leadership, financial and legal experience in Canadian and global energy.  The team is complemented by an engaged and experienced independent advisory board.
