Imperial Fund in the News

As a financial advisor who also belongs to the millennial generation, I see a clear behavioral gap. Many millennials are tech-savvy, curious and ambitious — but their approach to money often swings between extremes: speculative crypto bets or complete inaction,” said Yuri Nosenko, wealth advisor at Imperial Fund Asset Management.

I see so many peers who can explain blockchain protocols but have never opened a retirement account,” Nosenko said. “The future of financial freedom isn’t in chasing the next coin — it’s in disciplined, compounding growth built on planning and consistency.

Dmitri Batsev, managing director at Imperial Fund Asset Management, added, “The AI trade feels overextended. Buy value, stick to quality.” Zachary Levenick, partner at The Holdsworth Group, is equally cautious: “We’re bullish on high-quality, undervalued assets where good management teams are executing well.”

"Whole loans are a very good product for life insurance companies to have on their balance sheet, and DSCR loans because of the prepayment speeds and good capital treatment" Kuznetsov says.

Aspirational purchases like spending too much on a brand new car, when used cars represent better values but carry less of a 'wow' factor, should definitely be avoided," says Yuri Nosenko, wealth advisor at Imperial Fund Asset Management.
