Backstop serves more than 600 hedge funds, fund of funds, endowments, family offices, foundations, private equity firms, pensions and consultants. With a new office in London, Backstop is continuing to add more clients worldwide, including several marquee institutional firms.
“The acquisition of PerTrac CMS last year led to a record year for our company and was a driving force in growing our client base by 65 percent,” said Geoff Surkamer, global head of sales and marketing at Backstop Solutions Group. “This impressive start to 2014 shows that we’re poised to continue growing this year, and with the rollout of updated features for both hedge fund managers and allocators, we will continue to diversify our client base.”
