S3 Partners Wins ‘Best Technology Firm – Client Service’ in HFM’s U.S. Hedge Fund Services Awards

S3 Partners, a leading provider of software solutions and advisory services for asset managers, hedge funds and banks, announced today it has been named Best Technology Firm – Client Service and highly commended for Best Overall Advisory Firm for this year’s HFM Awards in U.S. Hedge Fund Services.

The annual HFM Awards recognize hedge fund service providers that have demonstrated exceptional customer service and innovative product development over the past 12 months. In winning the award for Best Technology Firm, S3 was recognized by the judges for its continued dedication to providing innovative solutions to the financial technology industry. S3 previously won HFM’s Best Overall Advisory Firm award in 2013.

In their award citation, HFM judges praised S3’s BLACKLIGHT platform, which creates time and capital efficient relationships.

“S3’s BLACKLIGHT platform offers sophisticated analytics tools to its users. Although not a pure-play tech vendor, the firm has used a technology-based solution to genuinely meet the needs of its clients and will continue to innovate in this area,” the judges said. “A stand-out performance.”

“We are delighted that HFM once again recognized our work in using technology and services to create time and capital efficiency for our asset management and banking clients,” Bob Sloan, S3 Founder said. “We occupy a sweet spot as asset managers and banks grapple with the downstream issues of Basel III. The industry continues to see the value in standardizing, analyzing, and actioning data to solve issues of time, productivity, cost, service and counterparty exposure.”
