Greater London Enterprise Awards 2021

Greater London Enterprise Awards 2021 | 21 Overall, SRIP wants to grow its asset raising business as it’s in such demand from its clients. Shanaz explains, “I believe if you have an effective team and grow them internally, the rest will happen from an international perspective. Our role is to grow in countries like NYC, Chicago, London, Paris, Zurich, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, China, Singapore and be known as the ‘go-to firm’ for their requirements and investment decisions. When you go to a bigger organization, work is lost, and clients feel second best. We don’t let our clients feel anything other than special - we are always there for them.” Company Name: SR Investment Partners Contact Name: Shanaz Rob Website: www.sr-investmentpartners.com Email: shanaz.rob@srinvestmentpartners.com info@srinvestmentpartners.com Address: UK: City Point 11th Floor | 1 Ropemaker Street | London | EC2Y 9HT Kemp House, 152-160 City Road, London, United Kingdom, EC1V 2NX Q6.

Nothing is easy but that’s life. From experience, when you are out your comfort zone that is where you learn the best. I now have the best office team in France in Place Vendome, London in the City and NYC and we made it happen together. The best back-office team and great external partners who have been loyal since day one! We are now aggressively hiring. We like our work, and our results speak for themselves despite our firm’s private and discrete nature. So, having this award is quite exciting.” However, Shanaz explains, “We still have a lot to do. The finance world is at the top of the money-making industry with so many challenges, but this makes our intellectual mind work harder and faster- almost like a playground. It’s connecting, research, doing things with curiosity and learning from one another. I really can’t wait to see what the future holds, but it can only be positive. We create diverse talent and ideas for clients to help them generate more capital.” The SRIP team creates an industry-leading service that is second to none, providing total front-office solutions for Hedge Fund owners, shareholders, and stakeholders in the Investment world. It focuses on the Global C-Suite level, Electronic Trading, Portfolio Manager’s, Quantitative Analytics, Quant traders, M&A, Investment & Strategy, Treasury, Risk, and Technology across all asset classes. Despite a negative public perception regarding financial services, SRIP’s hedge funds have recorded an impressive performance, although the allocation was reduced from approximately 40% in 2018 to only 23% in 2020. “Being actively managed, hedge funds might perform better than expected in the following years.” Shanaz continues, “We are seeing more investors wanting to invest by diversifying their funds and want to allocate more capital and growth. During the pandemic, we had a great record-breaking achievement on deals and gaining new clients. While our competition was making redundancies and a lot of our competitors weren’t working, we hired more and made the most of the pandemic and worked even harder. I think it’s important to look at solutions to problems and create changes.” Additionally, there have been many key differences thanks to remote working during pandemic - to get a good coffee, for instance, we just had to go to the kitchen! However, it made an incredible difference to SRIP, states Shanaz. “I got a hold of more CEOs via Zoom calls from the US to Asia and London and more projects to work on to help with gaps.” “At SRIP, we do things with a purpose - we don’t like wasting the time of our clients nor ours. We have the best systems to know exactly what is going on in the markets and help us perform better in our jobs. We have the best support staff globally from lawyers, accountants, and researchers. We believe in the importance of a meritocratic workplace, where success is established on talent, commitment, diligence, and teamwork. Qualities we look for are curiosity, entrepreneurialism, creativity, and passion for finance. We look for people who meet the values of our organization. Our expectations are high, and you will see the progression fast. “At SRIP, our objective is to provide long-term success for our clients and our firm. We provide you with the fundamentals and tools to be a success. We value new ideas and solutions that drive performance and set a high bar for excellence.”
