Founded in 2010, IIMI speaks for owner-managed firms concerned with the alignment of interests with clients, and aims to offer an independent, expert voice in the debate over the future of financial regulation and competition.
“Dalton Strategic Partnership has been a member of IIMI for many years now and I have always been impressed by its focus and work. Jamie Carter has left IIMI extremely well placed going forward and I would like to thank him for his leadership.
“I look forward to meeting with the membership and continuing IIMI’s work of promoting the interests of owner-managed firms. In these times of change, it is more important than ever that the boutique asset management industry is given a voice to help shape the debate around the future of financial regulation, as well as advocate the need for a competitive landscape.”

I am delighted with the progress we have made, notably the recent launch of IIMI Singapore. Nick has long been a champion of IIMI’s work and I have no doubt that he is the right person to chair the group as it builds on its successes to date.”
