As Imperium Funds marks its 4th anniversary, Barry McClay Imperium’s Managing Director – Funds, reflects on a journey of growth, achievement, and transformation.

Imperium has now become a firmly established player in the fund services sector, with a significant market presence and future growth strategy.

Looking back over the last 12 months, we have experienced extraordinary expansion. With Assets Under Management (AuM) now exceeding £3bn, this is more than double the previous year, Imperium has cemented its place as a trusted partner for over 100 serviced entities.

Imperium’s growth has been significantly driven by multiple switches and the launch of new funds by new Managers. Imperium’s current client base is a mix of established Managers and ones new to the private equity or venture capital space. On a recent fund launch a client commented on our agility and proactive approach to their asset class.

Key to this success has been the strength of the Imperium team. Over the past year, we have been delighted to welcome Lauren Read, Jonathan Hunter, and Daniel Robert, to our management team adding invaluable expertise and knowledge to the Imperium team.

Imperium’s Board also welcomed three new Executive Directors, Andy Hatton, Colette Taylor and Charlotte Parr.  Their leadership will help guide Imperium through its next stage of growth, ensuring that the company continues to deliver excellence in service and expertise to its clients.

From the very beginning, we set out to build a purely Guernsey based independent business which would be impactful through our core values. Over the past four years, we have invested in building a team that shares this vision, and that has been a key factor in our success. As we look ahead, our focus remains on continuing to scale, growing our team, and expand in Guernsey with the best people to support our clients’ needs.
