26 Degrees named Best Prime Broker: Capital Introduction
We’re delighted to share that 26 Degrees has been named Best Prime Broker: Capital Introduction at the Hedgeweek US Awards 2025.
This award reflects our commitment to empowering hedge funds, particularly emerging managers, by connecting them with our global allocator network and facilitating long-term, strategically aligned partnerships. On receiving the award, Tiffany Besnard, Head of Hedge Fund Sales and Capital Introduction at 26 Degrees, commented,
The awards celebrate excellence from service providers across the hedge fund landscape, with this year’s winners announced at a New York City ceremony attended by Tiffany. Guided by an allocator board, peer surveys, editorial judgment and data analysis, Hedgeweek ranks among the industry’s most influential awards programs.

26 Degrees’ Capital Introduction Program
The 26 Degrees Capital Introduction Program is purpose-built to foster long-term partnerships and align our global network of funds with the strategic goals of hedge fund allocators worldwide.
As part of the full-service offering, fund managers receive quarterly hedge fund performance reports, access to exclusive content, and advisory services – including general feedback on the structure and form of pitch deck and monthly performance material.
For allocators, we take a selective, relationship-driven approach, prioritising quality over quantity. Instead of mass distribution, we first take the time to understand allocator mandates, risk tolerances, and portfolio construction goals. This ensures that every introduction is highly curated and aligned with allocator needs, leading to more productive engagements and a higher probability of long-term success for both allocators and managers.
Our network spans APAC, Europe, and North America, including emerging markets, giving allocators access to a diverse pool of funds across different geographies and strategies. With offices in Sydney and Tokyo, we have a deep presence in APAC and a particular focus on uncovering emerging managers in the region, spending significant time on the ground to source differentiated strategies that might otherwise go unnoticed.
