About us
Family Office Backing
SIM is backed by the Sibner Group Family Office which has been operating its own UK Residential Private Credit strategy since 2018 alongside its Property Group, which has been operating since the 1950s.
Co-investment Alignment
SIM was born through the foresight of the Sibner Group Family Office to open up their successful strategy to the wider community. As an LP co-investor, Sibner Group and executives are aligned with our investors every step of the way.
Managed Capital
We currently manage over £50m of Family Office, HNWI, Institutional and Wealth Management sourced capital.
Investment
Through asset-backed investment, Sibner aims to deliver double-digit returns while maintaining strong downside protection.
Key Figures
Target 10-12% p.a. Return on Investment
SIM manages a UK Private Credit Fund that aims to deliver 10%–12% p.a. returns through our bespoke Real Estate Private Credit strategy.
March 2025 Fund Launch
The investment strategy has been operational since 2019 and by launching the funded solution in March 2025 we aim to increase the accessibility to the UK Private Markets for other Family Offices, Wealth Managers, Institutions and Sophisticated/Professional investors only.
12.5% p.a. Track Record since 2019*
With a 5 year track record generating annual returns of over 12.5% using the existing strategy, we are well placed to extend our investment capability to the wider market, not least as a result of the incredible continuous demand from our borrowers.

The Market
UK Housing
The UK continues to face a structural housing shortage, with long-term demand supported by population growth, household formation and constrained supply. This imbalance creates a persistent need for well-capitalised residential development and specialist lending solutions that can help unlock delivery across the market.
Debt in Development
Traditional bank lending to smaller and mid-sized developers remains constrained, creating a funding gap across parts of the UK residential development market. This opens opportunities for experienced private credit managers to provide targeted, asset-backed finance with disciplined underwriting and strong downside protection.
Private Markets
Private credit has been an increasing exposure in many portfolios globally. Private credit can provide attractive income opportunities less correlated to public markets. In the current market, reduced bank lending and higher interest rates have created opportunities for specialist lenders to achieve enhanced risk-adjusted returns.
