David Bushe Appointed to the Role of Chief Executive Officer at FIM Capital

12 June 2023

The leading Fund Administration and Investment Management Company, FIM Capital, is pleased to confirm the appointment of David Bushe to the role of Chief Executive Officer.

This key appointment represents an important step in the ongoing development of the burgeoning business and builds upon the strong foundations that have been established since the inception of FIM Capital in 2006.  David succeeds outgoing CEO Graham Smith who is taking a staged approach to retirement by retaining some of his client facing duties after his successful tenure with the company.  

David’s appointment comes at a key time for the business as it targets further growth in their Investment Management and Fund Administration divisions with the assets under management by the investment arm of the firm recently surpassing US $1BN.  

During his career David has built up a wealth of knowledge having worked in many of the world’s leading financial centres including Jersey, South Africa, the Caribbean and the Isle of Man. In addition to his vast experience, David has also recently attained the IoD Diploma and Certificate in Company Direction which is an internationally recognised benchmark for directors and is also an individually chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investments.

David commented: “I started with the business back in March 2022 and immediately saw a fantastic team working tirelessly for all our clients in investment management and fund administration.  What are two very different offerings offer remarkable synergy and operational benefits which ultimately produces excellent returns, administration and client experiences.  As an Isle of Man headquartered business all decisions are in synchronisation with our local clients and market with the added benefit of appealing to a worldwide client base for the reasons of reputation, professionalism, stability and success.  I thank all the FIM team, our clients and business partners for the success to date and rather excitedly I look forward to continued growth and success in future years.”

Commenting on his appointment Russell Collister (Co-Founder of FIM Capital) said: “We are pleased to appoint David to this key role, and the experience, focus and energy that David has brought to FIM Capital since joining in 2022 has been invaluable and will help drive the business forward as we target further growth in the coming years.  In addition, I would also like to place on record our thanks to Graham Smith our outgoing CEO for the significant contribution he has made to FIM Capital during his tenure and are delighted that whilst he is stepping back from his executive duties, he will be maintaining some of his client facing duties as he takes a staged approach to retirement.”
