NEW YORK, March 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ernst & Young LLP has been named Best Audit Services firm by Alt Credit Intelligence, part of the HFM family of magazines, for its US Fund Services Awards 2016. The firm received this recognition for its superior experience and breadth of offerings to managers operating in the credit space, and for having outperformed its peers over the past 12 months.

"We are honored to receive this recognition of our strong commitment to the hedge fund industry and our exceptional service offerings that continue to exceed client expectations," said Michael Serota, Partner, Financial Services Organization, Ernst & Young LLP, and EY Global Leader of Hedge Fund Services.
