A New Paradigm in Governance
Paradigm Governance Partners Limited (Paradigm) is a licensed fiduciary services company based in the Cayman Islands. Paradigm, now part of Hawksford, was established by Cayman-based senior professionals who came together to build a fiduciary services company with a client and investor-focused service delivery model along with a multi-tiered and segregated take-on and review process. Our vision is to provide high quality, high touch boutique fiduciary services to investment managers, including hedge funds, family offices, closed-end funds and private equity, which has set a new standard for excellence in governance to the alternative investment industry.
Paradigm is different based on the following factors:

- Individual vs. institutionalized appointment
CONFLICT POLICY | REGULATION
- Partners are truly independent from client relationships
- Robust conflict policy
