LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--U.S. Bank and its affiliate Quintillion Limited have been recognised in Europe by HFMWeek as the best provider of trustee services, debt/loan administration and fund administration client service at the inaugural Alternative Credit Intelligence European Performance Awards in London.
Alternative Credit Intelligence, a division of global hedge fund publisher and networking service HFMWeek, assembled a judging panel for the awards consisting of leading institutional and private investors, industry experts and its own representatives. U.S. Bank was specifically recognised as:
- Best Trustee Services (Overall) – U.S. Bank Global Corporate Trust Services
- Best Debt/Loan Administration (Overall) – U.S. Bank Global Corporate Trust Services
- Best Administrator (Client Service) – Quintillion
U.S. Bank has grown its securities services businesses – corporate trust and fund administration services – considerably in Europe in recent years. In the corporate trust space, the bank entered the European market in 2010 and has since grown its client base and market share to become an established leader, maintaining the top position in the CLO market for three consecutive years. In the fund services space, the bank expanded in Europe through its 2013 acquisition of hedge fund administrator Quintillion. Since the acquisition, Quintillion has grown its client base and increased its assets under administration by more than 40 percent.
“This recognition is meaningful because it stems from input by many of the firms that we serve here,” said Tom Cubitt, London-based senior vice president of U.S. Bank Global Corporate Trust Services in Europe. “We’ve built our European corporate trust business based on feedback from clients and others in the industry. We strive to understand their needs, and we believe we have the right technology and people on board to sustain our growth in the years ahead.”
“Quintillion has been a leading fund servicing business of alternative investment funds in Europe for many years. Our ownership by U.S. Bank has benefitted our fund administration clients, as we leverage U.S. Bank’s industry leading financial strength, global capabilities and ability to invest in our business. It enables us to tap into the bank’s people, technology and compliance expertise. It’s strengthened our competitive position and helped us become a more comprehensive service partner for our clients,” said Joan Kehoe, Dublin-based CEO of Quintillion.
Quintillion was also recently recognised as the best valuations service provider at HFMWeek’s CTA Intelligence European Services Awards.
