Cowen Prime Services, the prime services division of Cowen Group, has been named Best Global Prime Broker at the 2017 Hedgeweek Global Awards.
This is the second consecutive year that Hedgeweek has honoured Cowen Prime Services with this award.
The Hedgeweek Global Awards celebrate excellence among hedge fund managers and service providers and celebrates the achievements of firms that contributed to another significant year for the sector. The winners, who were presented with their awards in London on 3 March, were decided by a poll of Hedgeweek readers, who include both investors and managers as well as other industry professionals at firms including fund administrators, custodians, accountants and auditors, law firms, consultants and fund distributors. The final winners in both the manager and service provider categories were confirmed by the Hedgeweek team.
Jack D Seibald (pictured), global co-head of prime brokerage services, says: “We are proud to have been recognised by industry professionals, including hedge fund managers and the service providers catering to their needs. This award reflects our unwavering commitment to clients and the prime services industry. As former investment managers, we understand the challenges associated with managing a hedge fund. Therefore, we worked extremely hard to ensure that our tools and support services would improve the administrative and operational aspects of our clients’ businesses.
“In addition, we provide clients with access to non-conflicted trade execution, cutting edge research and access to industry leading investment conferences. We are honoured to play a role in our clients’ success.”
