What’s in a name? Capital Innovations and our bridge logo

The Millau Viaduct is a cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the river Tarn near Millau in southern France. Designed by the French structural engineer Michel Virlogeux and British architect Norman Foster, it is the tallest bridge in the world, with one mast's summit at 343.0 metres (1,125 ft). The viaduct is part of the A75-A71 autoroute axis from Paris to Montpellier. The bridge received the 2006 IABSE Outstanding Structure Award.

This bridge serves as our symbol for precise engineering, superior portfolio construction and unique innovation. Truly representative of the care, diligence and precision which we apply in managing our client investment accounts.
