Corporate and financial PR firm Broadgate has been named best hedge fund PR firm, trumping CitigateDeweRogerson, M:Communications, Par Excellence and Peregrine Communications.

The announcement was made at last Friday’s Service Provider HFMWeek awards, part of a wider awards event celebrating those funds that performed best over the past 12 years.

Broadgate put its success down to its length of tenure in the field. Roland Cross, director of Broadgate, said: “Broadgate has worked for hedge fund clients since 2001 and we have a team that understands the world of alternative investments and hedge fund strategy.”
