For the second time this year, fund governance firm DMS Offshore Investment Services (DMS) has been recognised for the quality of its regulatory advisory services by the readers of Hedgeweek.

DMS was awarded "Best Offshore Regulatory Advisory Firm" in the 2014 Hedgeweek US Awards at a ceremony held in New York City on 29 May.
 
DMS received a similar honour on 28 February in London, when it was named Best Offshore Regulatory Advisory Firm in Hedgeweek's Global 2014 awards.
 
For both awards, DMS was selected through a poll of the magazine's readers and the firm had no part in soliciting the award. More than 1,300 votes were cast by Hedgeweek's US-based readers for this latest award, the highest number to do so, Hedgeweek noted.
 
Kathleen Celoria, executive director of DMS, who is based in the firm's New York office, accepted the award.
 
"We are once again thrilled at this extraordinary recognition by the readers of Hedgeweek, and by extension, the hedge fund industry," says DMS chief executive officer Anne Storie. "DMS has been steadily building its operations in the USA with ever-improving fund governance services that offer outstanding directors and tested and proven risk management and transparency reporting solutions. It is particularly gratifying that our clients and the industry are pleased with the work we do."
