We have news to share. After being shortlisted in three categories, Sondhelm Partners took home the award for Third-Party Marketing Firm of the Year at the 2025 Hedgeweek US Awards.

This year’s competition was competitive. Over 8,000 votes poured in across all service provider categories, showing how engaged our industry community is. To come out on top in that environment is meaningful.

Our Triple Nomination Journey

Earlier this year, we shared that Sondhelm Partners had been shortlisted across three categories – something no other firm achieved:

• Third-Party Marketing Firm of the Year (WINNER!) – We competed alongside Agecroft Partners, Basis Point Group, Boldwater Partners, Clearglass Capital Partners LLC, Stone Mountain Capital, and Thalēs Capital Partners LLC.
• Marketing Agency of the Year – We were shortlisted with Basis Point Group, Fund Marketing Group Ltd, Mischa Communications, Inc., and Ovis Creative.
• PR & Communications Firm of the Year – We joined Craft & Capital, Gasthalter & Co. LP, and Mischa Communications, Inc. in this category.

Being the only firm recognized across all three marketing categories told us something about the breadth of what we deliver for hedge fund clients. Winning in third-party marketing validates the specialized expertise we’ve built in this space.

What This Win Means

This award reflects the trust our clients place in us when they need results that go beyond traditional marketing approaches. Third-party marketing requires a different skill set – deeper industry relationships, nuanced messaging strategies, and the ability to represent fund managers authentically to institutional investors.

The 8,000+ votes cast this year show how seriously our industry takes these recognition programs. To earn this win in such a competitive field is important to our team.

Thank You

To everyone who voted, worked with us, or supported our journey – thank you. Your confidence in what we’re building drives us to keep pushing boundaries in alternative investment marketing.

Last night’s awards ceremony at Convene on Park Avenue brought together 150+ industry professionals for networking and celebration. The shared commitment to excellence reinforced why events like these matter.

Congratulations to all the winners and shortlisted firms. The talent level across every category was strong, and we’re honored to be part of this community.
