LONDON, Sept. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- HedgeServ, an independent global fund administrator, today announces that it has been selected by Portman Square Capital, a London-based international investment management firm, to provide comprehensive front, middle and back office services for its multi-strategy relative value hedge fund, which is scheduled to launch this autumn. 

Mike Martin, CEO of HedgeServ (UK), commented: "We pride ourselves on providing a new standard for fund administration through our superior client service, highly-customizable technology, and a keen understanding of global investment markets. We're delighted to be adding a client of Portman Square Capital's calibre to our international hedge fund client base and look forward to providing services to the exacting standards that will be so important to their business success."
