S3 Partners Named 'Best Buy-Side Newcomer' at Buy-Side Technology Awards for BLACKLIGHT


NEW YORK --(Business Wire)--

S3 Partners, a leading SaaS (News - Alert) platform and advisory services for asset managers, hedge funds and banks, announced today its SaaS BLACKLIGHT won best new product at the Buy-Side Technology Awards.

S3 Founder Bob Sloan accepted the award at the 8th annual award ceremony in London on behalf of the BLACKLIGHT team. The Buy-Side Technology Awards recognize the leading technologies and vendors in their area of expertise, through an auditable and transparent methodology underpinned by the input and experience of seven judges: two editors and five buy-side focused technology consultants. The award comes just two weeks after the firm won Best Technology Firm at the HFM Awards.

The Buy-Side Technology judges praised BLACKLIGHT for its ability to help create time for fund professionals and build capital-efficient relationships.

"While the S3 service brand is market-leading on the buy-side, their SaaS BLACKLIGHT platform addresses data collection, interpretation and analytic needs of the entire fnancial ecosystem," said Victor Anderson, editor-in-chief of Buy-Side Technology. "BLACKLIGHT aggregates multi-asset data, analyzes the cost of all securities, is completely intuitive, and remotely accessible. Its analytics create time and capital efficiency for a deeper understanding of counterparty relationships."



"We are pleased to be honored by both our peers in the financial technology industry and the editorial staff at Waters Media," Bob Sloan, S3 Founder said. "This award shows that those that succeed in the asset management and banking industries going forward will need to emphasize not just meeting regulatory requirements, but doing so in a way that helps firms be more time and capital efficient. As we continue to see the effects of Basel III reverberate through the market, standardizing, analyzing, and acting on data will allow the best players in the industry to create more time to get to what is meaningful for their businesses."
