Hedge fund and Private Equity Award shortlistings for JTC

JTC has been nominated at the Hedgeweek European Awards and the Private Equity Wire European Awards for the second year in a row.

The respective categories, Best Administrator – Offshore, and Best Fund Administrator – ESG, are selected based on a widespread survey of more than 100 fund managers and other key industry participants.

With several decades of experience across the alternatives spectrum, JTC has considerable experience in the hedge fund and private market asset classes, which now form a core part of the non-traditional funds proposition.

Commenting on the hedge fund nomination, Dean Blackburn, Interim Global Head of Institutional Client Services (ICS) said:

“We are delighted that the industry has recognised our deep expertise and knowledge within the hedge space, which is a core part of our alternative funds proposition. We have continued to develop our solutions over several decades including a number of acquisitions which specialise in the asset class. Our multi-jurisdictional team is able to provide the kind of sophisticated, institutional grade administrative support required by hedge fund managers, enabling them focus on generating returns for investors.”

On the ESG shortlisting, Wendy Holley, Group Chief Operations Officer and Chief Sustainability Officer, added:

“I believe that this nomination reflects the excellent progress that we continue to make in respect to our approach as a responsible business in addition to our client offering of ESG services. Last year we became a signatory to the UN PRI, having already met our commitment to becoming Carbon Neutral and reporting under TCFD and the SASB framework. We work closely with private equity organisations which allows clients to progress and deliver their own strategies for more sustainable practices.”

JTC has extensive experience of alternative assets including a wide variety of hedge funds, while the private equity team has a proven track record over 20 years in providing outsourced third party private equity administration services in addition to managing investors and regulatory requirements.

In 2022, JTC launched its virtual Chief Sustainability Officer (vCSO) solution to enable organisations and individuals to benefit from the experience and expertise of our ESG Services team in relation to ESG Strategy, ESG Training and Carbon Support.
