CLIFTON PARK, N.Y., Dec. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ultimus LeverPoint Private Fund Solutions, a leading, tech-enabled private fund administrator, is honored to announce that it received two industry renowned awards at the 2021 Global Custodian Industry Leaders Awards dinner held in New York recently.
The awards ceremony recognizes achievements of service providers in the fund administration industry whose quality of services provided to their clients excel beyond their peers in areas such as client service, technology, reporting, onboarding, compliance and others. In the private fund category, Ultimus LeverPoint received the Private Equity Fund Administrator of the Year and Technology awards. Frank Anduiza, EVP, Head of Private Fund Sales, attended the awards dinner and was honored to accept the awards on behalf of Ultimus LeverPoint.
The awards are based in part on the results of Global Custodian’s 2021 Private Equity Fund Administration Survey, which was independently administered earlier this year by the publication seeking input directly from private fund managers. In the survey results, Ultimus LeverPoint significantly outpaced industry averages in all nine applicable fund servicing categories, reflecting a resounding confirmation from private fund clients of the firm’s client centric service model and commitment to excellence.
As a result of its survey performance, Ultimus LeverPoint also received two prominent accreditations from Global Custodian: Category Outperformer, indicating that the firm’s score in one or more categories was higher than the average score for all providers in those categories, and Global Outperformer, which signifies that the firm’s overall score exceeds the overall average score of all survey participants.
Highlights of the 2021 survey results include the following:
- Ultimus LeverPoint’s overall average score of 6.76 significantly exceeded the industry average overall score of 5.70.
- The firm’s individual scores outperformed industry average scores in all 9 applicable categories surveyed.
- The firm received a resounding 6.83 in Client Service, well above the industry average of 5.76.
- The firm received its highest scores in the Client Service, Geographical Coverage, Reporting to LPs and Capital Drawdowns & Distributions categories.

We’re dedicated to investing in leading-edge technology, top industry talent, as well as custom tailoring our services.

Wishing to acknowledge clients and Ultimus LeverPoint associates alike, Tenkman continued, “I’m grateful to our clients for their confidence in us and the partnership with us. I’m also beyond proud of our teams for the hard work they put in daily to support our clients, and winning these awards is a direct reflection of that unwavering dedication.”
