Kinetic Partners, the global professional services firm to the asset management, investment banking and broking community, has been named Best Overall Advisory Firm by HFMWeek and has welcomed John Griffiths as a Member of the regulatory compliance team.
The Firm was this week named as the Best Overall Advisory Firm in the HFMWeek US Hedge Fund Services Awards. The magazine’s annual ceremony rewards excellence in the alternative investment industry. Kinetic Partners won on the basis of its exceptional performance over the past year. This award celebrates the Firm’s achievements which have made a real difference to the development of the sector.
Kinetic Partners has previously won HFM Week’s Best US Regulatory Advisory Firm award in both 2009 and 2010, in addition to a number of other accolades from HFMWeek, Hedgeweek, Funds Europe and Fund Domiciles.
These ongoing industry awards highlight the Firm’s established global reputation as the leading professional advisory firm in its chosen market sectors. The Firm has grown significantly in the past year to meet the demands of an expanding global client base, and remains on the forefront of the regulatory debate as it advises clients on new requirements being implemented by UK, European and US regulators and governments.
“Kinetic Partners has always prided itself on its exemplary service offerings and competitive nature, and winning HFM Week’s Best Advisory Firm Award is a tremendous honour,” said Christopher Lombardy, Member, Regulatory compliance at Kinetic Partners. “This award recognises our unique global offering which enables our clients operating in multiple jurisdictions to implement practices and policies that minimize problems in complying with an increasingly complex and burdensome global regulatory environment.”
With regulatory pressures on the industry continuing to mount and in light of the Firm’s truly global footprint, Kinetic Partners continues to focus on preparing clients for tackling new legislation worldwide. This week in London, the Firm hosted a well received seminar focusing on SEC Registration and Reporting for FSA Authorised Managers. The seminar, hosted by a team of the Firm’s regulatory compliance experts from both the UK and US, provided information to help guide firms through the registration procedures ahead of the 30 March 2012 deadline.
In response to ongoing financial regulation reform, the Firm has actively grown its regulatory compliance team. Continuing this expansion, Kinetic Partners is delighted to announce that John Griffiths has become a Member of the Firm, having worked in the London office for the past 18 months. John was engaged in a consultancy business for four years before joining Kinetic Partners, during which time he assisted firms through the MiFID and CRD implementation processes. He previously spent 13 years at IMRO/FSA where he supervised the full range of firms associated with the asset management industry and led ARROW visits to the investment management arms of major investment banks.
Julian Korek, Founding Member, commented, “The continued growth of our regulatory and compliance service line represents our dedication to ensuring the best possible service for clients, at a time when they need it the most”.
