We are comfortable with all types of investment strategies
Forging strong relationships is at the heart of our business
We meet all of our clients face-to-face annually in addition to regularly scheduled board meetings
We limit the number of relationships we take on to ensure that we remain personally available to the funds that we oversee

What we do
Our services
Director Services
Institutional investors should require independent directors who have relevant industry expertise and who will fulfill their fiduciary duties in the best interests of the fund and its investors. In an industry of growing complexity and increased regulation, investors and managers seek directors who will make a genuine contribution and not shy away from difficult decisions.
Distressed Funds
Distressed funds can find themselves without the appropriate independent board of directors to guide them through a restructuring process, an orderly realisation of assets, or a voluntary liquidation. This is where HighWater excels.
Investment Managers
As a stepping stone to setting up a permanent office, we assist investment fund managers to establish a physical presence in the Cayman Islands, working closely with onshore legal counsel, tax and regulatory advisors.
Ancillary Services
While focusing on providing independent director services to the alternative investment fund Industry, HighWater also offers a range of ancillary services.
