Imperium Funds said it has grown from a position of no clients or staff to a team of circa 20 people with £1.4bn of assets under management and a physical presence in St Peter Port.

Imperium Funds Managing Director, Barry McClay said he’s very proud of what has been achieved.

“Our launch coincided with some of the most turbulent times in the living memory of many, our resilience and agility enabled us to keep moving forward.  Our anniversary is a time to reflect and celebrate our journey to date, we have many more miles to travel. 

“I am very thankful to everyone who has played a part in our growth story.  I value our people; I don’t believe you can at any point undervalue the power of relationships.”

Mr McClay said Imperium’s success to date echoes the growth in Guernsey’s funds sector with the total net asset value of Guernsey funds at the end of quarter one 2023 at £288.7 billion.

“Our reputation for delivery, speed to market and quality is supported by popular structures, including the introduction of the Private Investment Fund (PIF), as well as more recent options such as the Guernsey Green Fund and the Natural Capital Fund,” he said.
