Global Custodian is pleased to reveal the first set of shortlists for its annual Industry Leaders Awards, to be held in New York at Chelsea Piers on 17 November.
The evening recognises outstanding performers across Global Custodian’s ETF Administration, Prime Brokerage, Private Equity Fund Administration and Hedge Fund Administration surveys, with providers shortlisted across a range of service categories and client segments.
Ultimus leads this year’s shortlists with 10 nominations across ETF Administration and Private Equity Fund Administration. RBC Investor Services and Mirae Asset Securities follow with six nominations each.
CIBC, BNY Pershing, Marex, BNP Paribas, Citco and Trident Trust each feature in five categories, while Paralel and SS&C are shortlisted four times. State Street, JP Morgan and BBH each feature in three categories.
In addition to the survey award shortlists, Global Custodian will announce its Editors’ Choice shortlist in the coming weeks.
