Maples Fund Services, a leading independent global fund services provider and a division of MaplesFS, has been honoured as Best European Administrator for Small and Start-up Firms by HFMWeek.
The award comes on the heels of MaplesFS’ launch of its Incubator product, which is a dedicated offering for prospective and start-up managers. The Incubator product allows the prospective fund manager to build a credible, verifiable track record using premier, independent service providers in advance of the decision to go public and launch a full investment fund. MaplesFS supports these managers in establishing a track record and grows with them as they progress beyond the incubator stage, targeting capital from larger investors with more rigorous due diligence and reporting requirements.
“Professional investors expect an institutional infrastructure and this can be a challenge for small and start-up fund managers. With the backing of a robust operating model and infrastructure, our offering provides a solution to managers emerging in this tough environment,” Toni Pinkerton, Global Head of Fund Services, said.
HFMWeek’s European Hedge Fund Services Awards recognise service providers that have performed exceptionally over the past year. Companies are evaluated by a panel of independent judges made up of industry experts on a range of criteria, including client satisfaction, innovation and revenue growth.
Last year Maples Fund Services was honoured as Best US Administrator under $30 billion for Funds of Hedge Funds by HFMWeek, Best European Administrator under $30 billion – Innovation by HFMWeek, and European Hedge Fund Administrator of the Year (AUA < $100bn) by ICFA Magazine.
