Website updateWe gave the website a quick refresh

We’re excited to announce that our new and refreshed website is live. The updated site includes changes to improve navigation. We’ve also improved the structure of our content, so you’ll get more from a quick read. There’s a whole host of smaller but impactful changes, all to make your experience of the Nymbus site that much better for you.

When we started the project we had big ideas, from updating strategies information to helping users get from one place to the next without skipping our most important content. Our solution was to increase visualizations and information flow. We now have ‘Strategies’, ‘Services’ and ‘Research’ - if you’d like to know more about what we do, then our strategies page can make for a good introduction. In the ‘Research’ page, we’ve collected pertinent research resources in order to share ideas with you. In the ‘Services’ page, we explain how we advise a variety of investor types and what solutions we offer for each of them, and it all remains only a single click away.

We have also created a host of new graphics, published a gallery’s worth of images, and included a few updates that have made the site easier to use. We hope you like it!
