Cowen’s prime services division, Cowen Prime Services, has been named Best North American Prime Broker at the Hedgeweek USA Awards 2018.

The award is based on a peer review system and decided by a poll of Hedgeweek's readers that include institutional and high net worth investors, hedge fund managers, and other industry professionals such as fund administrators, prime brokers, law firms, custodians, and advisers.
 
Jack D Seibald (pictured), Managing Director and Global Co-Head of Prime Brokerage and Outsourced Trading, says: "We are honoured to have been selected as the Best North American Prime Broker and are grateful to Hedgeweek's readers for their continued support. This award is especially meaningful to Cowen's prime brokerage team as it represents the fourth consecutive year, and the fifth in six years, that we've earned this award, a true testament to the consistency of our offering and the service we deliver to our clients."
