Summary
Calderwood, a Cayman Islands boutique fund governance firm, has been named 'Best Offshore Governance Firm' at the HFM US Services Awards 2022, according to a Business Wire press release. The HFM annual awards recognize US hedge fund service providers for client service, innovation in product development and sustainable business growth over the past 12 months. Winners were selected through a judging process based on the views of a diverse panel of leading hedge fund executives and legal counsel.
Co-founders Ronan Guilfoyle and Wade Kenny accepted the award at the ceremony, held September 13 at Guastavino's in New York. Guilfoyle, who is also current chairman of the Cayman Islands chapter of the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA), said the firm appreciated the recognition and that clients had taken the time to commend its work during the awards process.
The release says Calderwood has expanded significantly in recent years, including the 2021 appointments of US investment funds attorney Laura McGrath and Cayman Islands regulatory attorney Anna Goubault as independent directors. The firm's governance model provides experienced independent directors with a limit on each director's number of relationships, which the company says has built a strong reputation as industry focus on corporate governance has intensified.
Since launching in 2016 with two co-founders, Calderwood now has eight fund directors and more than 300 fund manager relationships. The firm also offers regulatory and compliance services and has an Asia Pacific office for time-sensitive work in that region. Per the company's description, its directors are CIMA-registered and average over 20 years of professional services experience, including 10 years in a fiduciary capacity.
