Our Approach
CMiS always approaches a project with the following elements in mind:
a. Does it make macro economic sense?
Macro is important. One wants to be in a market with a growing demand for a product. No one can last when swimming upstream. Investments typically take 5 to 7 years to mature, so it makes sense to have the wind in your sails.
b. Does it generate foreign exchange?
CMiS will not touch a project if the source of revenue is not internationally rooted. It's not in our genes. If a project is based on an international market the revenue is more stable and secure. Investors turn to CMiS to handle their 'on island' projects and affairs. As our investors are (mainly) international, it matches up well to have our project revenue from international sources as well.
c. Does it create goodwill?
Any investment should seek to generate returns and create goodwill in the process. Projects should be seen as beneficial to the community in which they are established. Having a positive vibration will ensure the longevity of the project.
Our Story
CMiS - Curacao Management & Investment Services - was born from the idea of several investors to pool their resources and have projects professionally planned and managed. This principal was applied successfully, and soon CMiS extended its reach to the Caribbean.
CMiS is part of a group of family businesses that has been active in the Dutch Caribbean for four generations spanning over 90 years. The origin of the group lies in international trade. Over the years this has expanded to other project areas.
