FIM Capital

What FIM Capital does

FIM Capital Limited is a privately held Isle of Man-incorporated investment management and fund administration firm established in 2006, operating from a single headquarters at 55 Athol Street in Douglas. The firm runs two integrated business lines. The investment management division provides discretionary and advisory portfolio management, a Secure Income Portfolio (AAA-rated money market product), performance analysis, cash/FX management, and safe custody to private clients, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, trusts, pensions, and institutions. Client assets are custodied with BNP Paribas SA in Jersey in secure ring-fenced accounts. The fund administration division offers end-to-end outsourced services — corporate governance, regulatory compliance, shareholder services, financial management, NAV calculation, audit liaison, and listing sponsorship on The International Stock Exchange (TISE) — to closed-ended funds and collective investment schemes. A dedicated intermediary channel supports financial advisers and wealth managers who refer clients.

The firm reports $2.7-3bn in assets under management and administration and employs 51 staff. Revenue is generated through AUM-based management fees (subscription/recurring) on the investment management side and professional-services fees for fund administration. Pricing is not publicly disclosed beyond a stated minimum investment of £100,000 for the Secure Income Portfolio; fees on the core investment management book are negotiated bilaterally with clients and intermediaries. The fund administration practice is anchored by a flagship mandate with First World Hybrid Real Estate Plc, for which FIM acts as Fund Manager, Asset Manager, Property Manager, and Listing Sponsor — and the firm recently absorbed the property management team into an in-house business unit, extending its vertical scope. The shareholder base is private, with no disclosed venture or institutional capital.

The operating model is relationship-driven: bespoke service, dedicated account management, and direct access to the investment team. Distribution is split between direct client engagement (private clients, family offices, trusts, pensions, institutions) and a channel partner motion via intermediaries and financial advisers. The firm is licensed and regulated by the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority, is a Qualified Intermediary for US tax reporting (FATCA compliant), and is subject to MoneyVal evaluation. Marketing is executed through corporate social channels, content marketing (quarterly briefings, monthly investment updates), email newsletter subscriptions, earned media, and local community sponsorships (Beach Buddies, UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man, SPort Erin, Hospice Isle of Man). Leadership is led by CEO David Bushe (joined March 2022; 28+ years' international experience; Citywire Wealth Manager Top 100 in 2018, 2019, and 2020), with CFO Daniel Cadamy, COO Sara Collister (digital transformation mandate), and Non-Executive Chairman Richard Brindley.
