Imperial Fund

What Imperial Fund does

Imperial Fund Asset Management LLC is a Florida-domiciled, SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 2014 that specializes in non-agency residential mortgage investments. The firm structures and manages securitizations of non-QM and other non-agency residential mortgage loans, having completed 32 securitizations representing $12.3 billion in cumulative managed securitized assets (Initial UPB). Its core institutional product suite includes Residential Credit Funds, Non-Agency RMBS, and Whole Loan Separate Managed Accounts (SMA), while individual clients are served through Investment Management, Wealth Planning, Insurance & Annuities, Business Strategies, and Private Credit Funds offerings.

The firm's operating model is built on an exclusive origination partnership with AD Mortgage, a Forbes-ranked #1 Non-QM Lender, providing proprietary access to loan pipelines for securitization. A strategic alliance with Atlas Merchant Capital LLC — the global investment firm founded by former Barclays CEO Bob Diamond and David Schamis — provides institutional capital and strategic support. Revenue is generated through two streams: recurring investment management fees on residential credit funds and transaction-based securitization fees from issuance and ongoing management of non-agency RMBS. The firm claims an operational presence spanning 50+ countries, though primary operating geography is North America.

Imperial Fund is led by Co-Founders and Managing Directors Max Slyusarchuk (also CEO of AD Mortgage) and Victor Kuznetsov, alongside Managing Director Dmitri Batsev (formerly of Lazard Asset Management) and Director Anya Gezunterman. Per firmographic data, the firm operates with a lean team of 1-10 employees, with GP paid-in capital exceeding $100 million. Distribution occurs through direct institutional sales, financial advisor networks, and dedicated client services teams.
