Hermes BPK has announced that it has signed up to the Hedge Fund Standards Board Investor Chapter, where more than 30 hedge fund companies have joined forces to strengthen corporate governance within the hedge fund industry.

Matteo Dante Perruccio, CEO and Founding Partner of Hermes BPK, commented: "We believe the launch of the HFSB Investor Chapter will drive positive change in the hedge fund industry and this is another step in the right direction."

“Over the past two years, Hermes BPK has established itself as a leader in the Fund of Hedge Fund industry through its partnership with Hermes and the BT Pension Scheme. At the heart of our ethos lies a key commitment to corporate governance, investor alignment and responsible asset management.

The long-term investment capital from BTPS, combined with the experience of constructing investment solutions for the scheme, has enabled Hermes BPK to structure investment propositions for institutional clients to new standards of transparency, investor alignment, and due-diligence both operational and investment; consistent with Hermes’ well-documented commitment to the very highest levels of corporate governance and responsible asset management.”
