Ensuring excellence is recognised

The past few years have highlighted the need for hedge fund managers to have the right service provider relationships to continue to operate without disruption.

After another challenging year which has left many funds in need of high quality and innovative solutions in order to deliver returns, the HFM US Services Awards recognize and reward those companies who are leading the way in product and service development and delivery.

A legacy of achievement

Having steadily grown in influence and reach over the years, the With Intelligence HFM US Services Awards are now a prominent fixture in the calendar. The Awards promote and reward excellence in our industry and provide a much-needed opportunity for shortlisted and winning companies to have their achievements celebrated in front of the industry and key US hedge funds. These are the awards the leading service providers in the industry really want to win.

Why enter

Stand out from the crowd

After a challenging period which has left many funds in need of excellent and innovative solutions in order to move forward, it is pivotal to be showcased as a leader in the field. Winning a HFM US Services Award will give you the stamp of approval you need to win new clients.

Rigorous Judging

The rigorous judging process has been designed to ensure that all entries receive full consideration and that the true winners are chosen. The judging panel is made up of leading hedge fund professionals specially selected for their wealth of experience within the industry.

Global Exposure

Shortlisted and winning organisations will receive coverage of their achievements through With Intelligence’s channels as well as being provided with marketing assets to use in their own collateral. The prestige and reputation behind With Intelligence is the perfect driving force to stand out amongst the hedge fund services community.
