Imperium Funds is celebrating its fifth anniversary this month, marking a period of rapid growth that has seen the firm evolve from ambitious beginnings into an established, independent Guernsey business.

In just five years, Imperium Funds has grown to work with more than 100 entities, supporting both new funds and more established fund managers in launching their funds in Guernsey.

Barry McClay, Managing Director of Imperium Funds, said: “Reaching our fifth anniversary is a proud moment for everyone at Imperium. From the outset, we’ve stayed true to our independent model focused on agility, collaboration, and client service and that has been central to our success. None of this would have been possible without the trust of our clients and the commitment of our people. We’re excited about what the next five years will bring.

“When we launched, we were focused on relationships, people, and providing our clients with the level of service they deserve. We are a Guernsey founded business, with a local team, operating from Guernsey and working directly with our clients on a day-to-day basis. Our model has evolved but not changed, and these core values remain at the heart of what we do and how we operate today and will continue to do so in the future.”

Following regulatory approval in September 2020, Imperium Funds has been active in the mid-market private equity and venture capital space across Guernsey, the UK, and Europe.

Looking ahead, Imperium Funds remains committed to growing its independent platform, supporting innovation, and strengthening Guernsey’s reputation as a leading funds jurisdiction.

The fund services firm was established with the support of the Imperium Group a provider of trust and corporate services in Guernsey, Jersey, UK and Switzerland for more than ten years and remains in fully independent ownership.

Guernsey currently has record numbers of investment funds domiciled locally. According to recently released statistics from the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, at the end of March 2025 the net asset value of Guernsey funds stood at £278.6 billion.
