UMB Fund Services (UMBFS) has been named “Best North American Hedge Fund Administrator” as part of the 2014 Hedgeweek Awards.
Now in their fifth year, the Hedgeweek Awards recognise excellence among hedge fund managers and service providers around the world.
The Hedgeweek Awards are based on a “peer review system” whereby readers of Hedgeweek are invited to elect a “best in class” in a series of categories via an online survey.
Lonnie Macdonald, executive vice president of alternative investments for UMB Fund Services, says: “It is a great honour to be named ‘Best North American Hedge Fund Administrator’ by Hedgeweek and its readers, especially on the heels of the other awards we’ve recently received. Together they attest to the high-quality service delivered by our associates every single day. We hope to continue to live up to this accolade and provide the industry with the best service we possibly can for many years to come.”
John Zader, chief executive officer of UMB Fund Services, says: “UMB Fund Services has been gaining industry-wide recognition for the quality of our people, process and technology in the past few months. We are very pleased that the word is getting out that we are a different kind of service provider – one that is truly client-focused and strives to deliver on our vision of the unparalleled customer experience. We are very grateful to Hedgeweek and its readers for giving us this award.”
