Kinetic Partners, a leading global advisor to the financial services industry, has been named the “Best European Regulatory Advisory Firm” at the Hedgeweek Awards 2013. The awards recognize excellence among hedge fund managers and service providers around the world.
The winners were determined by the votes of Hedgeweek’s 41,000 subscribers, who include institutional investors, wealth managers, fund managers and other industry professionals at firms including fund administrators, prime brokers, custodians, law firms, custodians and advisers. In each category, the firms with the most votes are subject to a final review by the senior editorial team at Hedgeweek and the winners are then chosen.
The award follows a series of accolades Kinetic Partners received in 2012. The Firm won ‘Best Overall Advisory Firm of the Year’ at the HFM Week awards in October 2012, ‘Accountancy Firm of the Year’ at the Global Investor Investment Excellence Awards in late June and was voted ‘Regulatory Advisory Firm of the Year – Ireland’ by readers of ACQ Finance Magazine.
Andrew Shrimpton, Member, Regulatory & Compliance, Kinetic Partners commented: “We are over the moon to win this award and keep one step ahead of our competitors. It is particularly pleasing to be recognized by the global hedge fund community, in a year when the AIFM Directive is being implemented. As a Firm, we pride ourselves on our depth of knowledge, expertise and having a truly global presence to help our clients meet the needs of an ever changing regulatory landscape for hedge funds.”
“This accolade highlights the strength of Kinetic Partners’ team and the Firm’s ongoing dedication to ensuring that we are one global partnership, delivering the best possible service for our clients, in what is an increasingly complicated regulatory environment” said Julian Korek, CEO, Kinetic Partners.
