As an award-winning fund governance services firm, Calderwood has one of the most experienced teams in the Cayman Islands. We provide independent directors and a range of governance solutions to many of the world’s largest and most successful investment funds.

Since launching in 2016, our senior team has grown to 12, with each of our directors having an average of 25 years’ experience in funds and financial services. Our clients and major investors around the world, rely on the skill and diligence of our professionals, to help adapt to an environment of greater operational complexity.

Our directors provide independent oversight over all of the fund’s management and operations, to ensure all decisions are made in the best interest of stakeholders. We also place capacity limits on the number of our directors’ engagements. This ensures our directors can always dedicate sufficient time and resources to every fund they serve.

With the benefit of having worked through the volatility of the financial crisis, our team has experience of dealing with all manner of distressed and difficult situations. In these scenarios, Calderwood can be expected to lead the conversation and take control, providing expert guidance to maximise value.

This has also been demonstrated to great extent during recent bouts of market volatility, including the US regional banking crisis and in the crypto space. We have developed a strong reputation as trusted advisors in this constantly innovating area, to help our clients understand and negotiate key issues.

Our team also has the stability you can rely on, having worked in Cayman together for many years. Calderwood has had no turnover in directors, while other service providers have faced uncertainty as the market has consolidated. As the investment fund industry has evolved over the past decade, we have recognised the changing needs of our clients. Our directors, responsive in multiple time-zones, are true trusted partners, offering guidance and troubleshooting issues as they arise.

Our approach has been recognised by the market. Calderwood was named Best Offshore Governance Firm at HFM’s US Services Awards in 2022 and 2023. In addition to independent directors, our suite of governance services combined with our robust infrastructure, ensures compliance to the highest standards, so our clients can focus on their business.
