Award Winning Fund Administration, Compliance, and Middle Office
At STP, recognition isn’t the goal — it’s the result. We measure ourselves on the outcomes we deliver for clients: cleaner operations, stronger compliance posture, and the freedom to grow without scaling overhead.
What makes these programs worth citing is who does the judging. FTF and Hedgeweek winners are decided by industry-wide votes of securities operations professionals. With Intelligence convenes panels of hedge fund COOs, CFOs, CCOs, and CTOs. ClearView’s Family Wealth Report panels are drawn from banks, family offices, and advisers to the sector — none holding commercial relationships with entrants. In other words, our work is reviewed by the same people who would review your service providers.
Below, our recognition is organized by the problems it speaks to, rather than by year.

2026 Awards
ThinkAdvisor Luminaries Awards 2026 – Finalist — ThinkAdvisor Luminaries Awards 2026
Program: ThinkAdvisor | Finalists announced September 2026 | Winners announced December 3, 2026
- Compliance/Law Firms — Product or Service Innovation: ComplianceAdvisor
Recognition in this category reflects a shift in what compliance programs are expected to do: not document requirements, but execute them. ComplianceAdvisor translates obligations like the SEC’s amended Regulation S-P into structured, repeatable workflows — operational incident response that firms can actually run, continuous vendor oversight embedded in daily activity, and advisor-facing tools that move compliance out of the back office. A vetted cybersecurity partner ecosystem extends the program end-to-end rather than leaving clients to assemble point solutions. The model scales across firm size, supporting large institutions on early deadlines and advisory firms navigating the staggered June 2026 requirements.
Hedgeweek US Awards 2026 – Shortlisted (2 categories) — Hedgeweek® US Awards 2026
Program: Hedgeweek | Shortlist announced July 2026 | Winners announced October 8, 2026, New York
- Fund Administrator of the Year: Middle Office Services
- Fund Administrator of the Year: Start-up & Emerging Managers
Shortlisting in both categories reflects the same capability viewed from two ends of the market: institutional-grade operations without institutional-grade overhead. On the middle office side, BluePrint consolidates trade capture, reconciliation, pricing, and investor data into a single ecosystem — removing the handoffs where operational risk accumulates and giving managers real-time visibility into positions, P&L, and exceptions. For launching managers, structured onboarding, digital investor onboarding, and automated accounting workflows come standard, and the platform scales with AUM so there’s no disruptive administrator transition mid-raise.
With Intelligence Hedge Fund Services 2026 – Shortlisted — Best Administrator, Emerging Managers — 2026 With Intelligence Hedge Fund Services Awards

STP was shortlisted for Best Administrator – Emerging Managers, recognizing institutional-grade fund administration delivered to start-up and emerging hedge fund managers from inception. The category is judged by a panel of senior hedge fund operators — COOs, CFOs, CCOs, and CTOs — evaluating providers on client service, innovation, and sustained growth over the prior 12 months. Paired with dedicated account teams, the BluePrint platform gives emerging managers digital investor onboarding, automated accounting workflows, and transparent reporting that scales with AUM — no system migrations, no service transitions.

Why These Awards Matter for Our Clients
The programs above are not pay-to-play. Each is judged by independent panels of practitioners — banks, family offices, fund administrators, compliance experts, and operations leaders. Being shortlisted means STP’s work is being reviewed by the people who would also review our clients’ service providers.
For prospects evaluating STP, the pattern is what matters most: consistent, multi-year recognition across distinct programs and different parts of our business — fund administration, managed services, RegTech, wealth reporting, and emerging-manager solutions. It signals depth, not a single highlight.
Work with an Award-Winning Partner:
Every award above traces back to the same thing — a team that treats your operations like our own. If you’re evaluating a fund administrator, compliance partner, or middle/back-office provider, we’d welcome a conversation.
