Nick Ashmore is the Director of the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) within the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA). The ISIF is Ireland’s €9Bn Sovereign Development fund with a mandate to invest on a commercial basis, where it can have a positive impact on economic and employment growth. ISIF’s innovative approach to commercial state investment has seen it have a major impact on the funding environment for scaling Irish businesses, housing delivery and regional investment in urban regeneration, while also supporting the transformation underway in the critical agriculture and food sectors. Following its rapid and successful delivery of the Pandemic Stabilisation and Recovery Fund for larger Irish businesses, it has recently set out its ambition to deploy €1Billion in Climate investment.

Before taking up this role in early 2021, Nick was the first Chief Executive of the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (SBCI), Ireland’s promotional financial institution focused on the SME lending market. Prior to this, he served as Project Director during the setup of the SBCI in 2014. He originally joined the NTMA as part of the team managing the National Pensions Reserve Fund (ISIF’s predecessor) in 2006, where he served as Head of Private Equity and Infrastructure before becoming Deputy Director in 2011.

Before joining the NTMA, Nick was an Investment Manager with Greenaap Consultants Limited, a private family office. He started his career with Grant Thornton in Glasgow and Edinburgh and is a graduate of the University of Aberdeen in Accountancy, a member of the Scottish Institute of Chartered Accountants and holds a MSc in Management Practice from UCC.
