About Omni Partners 

Omni Partners LLP (“Omni”) was established by Steven Clark in 2004. Operating as an FCA regulated investment manager for nearly 20 years, Omni manages the capital of global institutional investors across a variety of strategies.  

Today, Omni’s focus is on investment management within private markets, although the firm’s genesis is in hedge fund management. In early 2022, Omni spun out its long-standing event-driven hedge fund strategy after growing AUM to more than £700 million. This has enabled Omni to focus on expanding its presence in private markets.  

Omni seeded a property-focused private credit strategy in 2009, which provided in excess of £1.5 billion of finance into the UK property sector. The firm has also sourced and funded a variety of private equity transactions, serving as a source of capital for business ventures across the UK, Europe and the US. Representing a core area of growth for the firm, Omni continues to actively build out its private equity capabilities. 

Based in London, Omni directly manages in excess of £130 million of assets. Omni’s approach is guided by the entrepreneurial spirit Steven Clark has imbued within the firm. An unconstrained approach in considering diverse investment opportunities, including the launch of new private markets strategies and seeding private businesses, continues to form the backbone of Omni’s approach to investment management.
