Imagine Software wins HFMWeek's 2011 Best Risk Technology Provider Award

NEW YORK, November 1, 2011—Imagine Software, a leading provider of real-time portfolio and risk management solutions worldwide, today announced it was honored as the "Best Risk Technology Provider" at the annual HFMWeek U.S. Hedge Fund Services Awards 2011 luncheon. The event was held on Thursday, October 13 at Cipriani's 42nd Street in Manhattan for several hundred attendees that included hedge fund professionals, prime brokers, fund administrators, and other service providers.

Accepting the award was Christine Farrier, Marketing Communications Manager at Imagine Software. "Earning this was especially gratifying since the market continually raises the bar of expectations for risk management solutions, and Imagine rose to meet the challenge through a process of continuous innovation. It complements our 'best risk management and software supplier' win at last year's HFMWeek U.S. ceremony, and the HFMWeek European Hedge Fund Services' 'best client service award' received in May 2011. Collectively, these symbols of industry recognition reflect Imagine's on-going commitment to excellence."

The latest HFMWeek award recognizes that Imagine Software outperformed its fellow risk management vendors over the last year. The series of three wins over the past 12 months adds to the company's long record of providing superior solutions that meet the needs of risk management professionals while providing a level of support that makes Imagine a true partner in its clients' success, rather than simply a provider of business services.
