Welcome to IMS

We are extremely proud and privileged to be at the forefront of what is today a mainstream sector, in multi-management. From humble beginnings in 1999 we have grown to act on behalf of a number of asset managers, corporate pension funds and family offices working with a wide range of fellow professionals and investment mandates.

It is the people that matter, both in terms of my colleagues I am fortunate enough to work with in IMS and the many extremely talented fund managers we continually research and evaluate around the globe. I believe we have one of the most insightful and experienced teams of anyone operating in multi-manager today.

Together with my colleagues Peter O'Connor, Giles Gilbertson and Antony John we have tried to build an entrepreneurial business that is both intellectually flexible and fun to work in. We have tried to wrap this in a flat structure which encourages participation at all levels and promotes a solutions based approach.

I am not sure that any website can really convey such values fully but I hope this will serve as a useful introduction from which you will feel encouraged to talk to us further.

Richard Timberlake, Chairman
