Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands – Ogier Cayman announced today it has been named ‘Best Offshore Regulatory Advisory Firm’ under the 2013 Hedgeweek Global Awards programme. The honour was announced at a luncheon in London held on 1 March 2013.

“As a firm we take great pride in the depth and breadth of our expertise in helping clients understand and navigate the regulatory environment for hedge funds,” said Giorgio Subiotto, partner, Ogier Cayman and head of the firm’s global investment funds practice. “This award is a validation of our capabilities in this area and carries particular weight because it is based on the opinions and votes of the global hedge fund community.”

The Hedgeweek 2013 Global Awards program uses a ‘peer review system’ to determine winners, where a cross-section of the industry – including institutional and high net worth investors, fund managers, administrators, prime brokers, custodians and advisers – are invited to elect ‘best in class’ firms in a series of categories. Now in its fourth year, the Hedgeweek 2013 Global Awards programme is presented by the publishers of Hedgeweek, a well recognised, London-based, weekly on-line source of news and features on the hedge fund industry.
