We ensure excellence is recognised
The rigorous judging process, based on the views of a panel of leading hedge fund COOs, CFOs, CCOs, GCs and CTOs, ensure that the HFM US Services Awards truly recognize those driving up service standards across the sector and stand out from the crowd as the ones the big providers really want to win.
To add further scrutiny to the process, we will invite shortlisted firms for selected award categories to attend face-to-face judging sessions where they will pitch their entries to a selection of the judging panel.

Why be involved?

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
.

Networking and celebration
The HFM US Services Awards provide the opportunity to
celebrate and reward your team
for their hard work, catch-up with peers from across the industry and demonstrate to your clients that you are at the forefront of the sector.
