ALPS Price MeadowsSM (APM) announced that its clients have again voted the company among the world’s top hedge fund administrators. Global Custodian’s 2009 Hedge Fund Administration Survey named APM as the #1 Fund Administrator servicing funds with $100 million to $1 billion in assets.
Global Custodian’s 14th Annual Survey results were calculated based on 1,370 responses and rated over 30 service providers worldwide on Client Service, Value, Fund Accounting and Valuation, Investor Services, Reporting to Investors, Middle Office Services, Reporting to Fund Managers and other services unique to the hedge fund industry.
When commenting on APM’s results in the survey, Global Custodian noted that “no score is less than excellent.” A client of APM stated that “ALPS Price Meadows has excellent client service. Contact is never a problem. Issues are resolved in a timely and satisfactory manner. Senior management is available to talk and always attentive to client needs.”
“We were honored to be ranked the #1 hedge fund administrator by Global Custodian in our first year participating in their survey,” said ALPS President Jeremy May. “As we were also recently named the #1 mutual fund administrator in North America by Global Custodian, it is great to see that our clients across all of our divisions here at ALPS are receiving the same world class service levels.”
