Sarnia Asset Management completes £1.25m fundraising

PRESS RELEASE

23 April 2025

Sarnia Asset Management Limited, the Guernsey-based fund management company, has successfully raised GBP 1.25m of growth equity.

The company, which is focussed on connecting high-net-worth investors to high-performing niche funds, will use the funds to market its first fund product, as well as build-out its funds pipeline and online presence.

Operating from Guernsey, GFSC-regulated Sarnia Asset Management can address investors in >100 countries, representing over 80% of the world’s wealth. Guernsey is not just a well-respected jurisdiction for registering funds; it also offers more flexibility to design funds around customers’ needs. This sets it apart from jurisdictions where funds are subject to formulaic restrictions, as is the case with, for example, EU UCITS funds.

The funds were raised from a mixture of existing shareholders and newcomers from the UK, Europe and further afield, with demand for the company’s shares easily outstripping the firm’s fundraising target.

Swen Lorenz, CEO of Sarnia Asset Management, commented:

“This fundraising is a resounding endorsement of our strategy from our investors, many of whom match our typical client profile of ‘poor millionaire’. More than ever, the world is crying out for an asset manager who can truly cater to the needs of private individuals with USD 1m-20m in investible wealth, many of whom are inadequately served by the investment industry.”
