Established managers

Refining & Future-Proofing Your Core Functions

With multiple fund vintages, billions in AUM, and a wide-ranging portfolio, your established business has already proven its value. But with evolving regulations, investor scrutiny, and global expansion, now isn’t the time to rest on past success.

Cambium Partners works with larger alternative funds to modernise and optimise existing finance, tax, and compliance teams—ensuring you remain at the cutting edge and keep investor confidence high.

Key Challenges for Established Funds

Increased Complexity

Large managers can become bureaucratic over time, slowing deal execution and hindering innovation. At the same time, scale can allow for new highly specialised and efficient models that your smaller peers cannot replicate.​

Global & Cross-Border Complexity

Multiple jurisdictions, regulatory bodies, and tax regimes demand continuous specialist knowledge. With scale also comes greater scrutiny.

Talent Retention & Succession

Long-tenured staff may retire or move on, creating leadership gaps if there’s no clear succession plan or robust middle tier.

How We Can Help

Strategic Restructuring & Process Optimisation

We conduct operational audits, comparing your finance function to market best practices. Recommend structural shifts (e.g., specialised teams, new leadership roles) or new technologies (e.g., automated processes) to bolster efficiency.

Executive & Board-Level Recruitment

Identify C-suite executives, heads of tax, or senior compliance leads who bring fresh perspectives while seamlessly fitting into your culture. Provide executive onboarding support and ongoing mentorship to ensure a smooth transition.

Succession Planning & Mentorship

Proactively map out talent pipelines, creating robust mid-levels who can step up as your fund grows or when senior members retire. Offer compensation benchmarking and career development frameworks so your high-performers stay engaged.
