CohnReznick named Best Audit Firm in Hedgeweek 2020 US Awards

In what Hedgeweek describes as “a year of extreme turmoil and unprecedented challenges,” the publication announced its 2020 US Awards program winners in 47 different categories, describing the award winners as “the best of the best in the US hedge fund industry, from fund managers to service providers, covering all the various parts of the hedge fund ecosystem.”

Compiled in conjunction with Bloomberg, the Hedgeweek US Awards program winners are chosen through a 'peer review system' where the publication’s readers – which include institutional and high net worth investors as well as managers and other industry professionals at fund administrators, prime brokers, custodians and advisers - are invited to elect a 'best in class' in a series of categories through an online survey. Results are subject to final review by Hedgeweek's Senior Editorial team. 

“The economic challenges brought on by the pandemic have required hedge funds to pivot and take a more innovative approach to doing business,’ said Bill Pidgeon, CohnReznick Partner and Financial Services Industry Co-Leader. “Our value proposition to our clients extends well-beyond quality audit services to include providing the market intelligence and leading-edge risk management strategies that can prepare them for an uncertain post-COVID-19 marketplace”. 

Marc Wolf, CohnReznick Partner and Financial Services Industry Co-Leader said, “On behalf of our firm and our growing hedge fund practice, we are truly honored to have been recognized by Hedgeweek readers as Best Audit Firm. He adds, “We look forward to continuing to serve the needs of hedge funds at all stages of growth – both domestic and offshore – by helping them maintain compliance, manage risk, and operate with transparency in serving the goals of their investors.”
