The most influential awards in the sector
Year-on-year the Hedge Fund Performance Awards | APAC remain the most important and influential hedge fund awards in the calendar, with the best-performing funds all vying for industry-wide recognition and celebration.
Nominees and winners are determined objectively, using a combination of Sharpe ratios and absolute returns. This quantitative approach ensures the awards reflect the two primary aims of hedge funds – to manage volatility and to deliver positive returns for investors.
To be considered in this year's nomination process, funds must list their data on the With Intelligence hedge fund database and have updated their figures for the performance periods under consideration.
To recognise the global presence of many hedge fund managers, the Awards have four categories open to entries from global hedge fund firms with over $1bn AuM.
