As Head of Investment Services at the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA), Seymour encountered governance issues within the hedge fund industry that he felt needed to be addressed, and DMS was his solution.
The issues that Seymour set out to tackle were the side effects of the systemic poor governance that he witnessed first hand throughout the industry – investors suffering losses due to directors underperformance, and stifled growth the growth to the industry too. Despite speeches imploring the industry to act, perhaps unsurprisingly, nothing was done.
And so DMS was founded with the aim of becoming the first professional fund governance firm. With a background in audit firms, designed at their core to manage risk, Seymour structured DMS with this same approach.
