Our heritage

The HFM AsiaHedge Awards and the Eurekahedge Asian Hedge Fund Awards have been separately celebrating the best and rewarding the finest in the Asian hedge fund industry since 2004. In 2021 we were excited to announce that they were joining forces to become the With Intelligence HFM Asian Performance Awards (now called the APAC Performance Awards).

During this time, the event has grown into a keenly anticipated staple in the calendar, carrying a legacy of over 21 years of rewarding the best-performing funds in the Asian hedge fund industry. The Awards have in many ways reflected the evolution of the industry, acting as a mirror for the changing fortunes, environments and moods of the hedge fund community and serving as a barometer of shifting sentiment, trends and issues.

In addition to the general category awards based on fund size and investment strategy, there is an award for Management Firm of the Year, the ultimate accolade for Asian hedge funds.

In 2022 we introduced a panel of industry investors to determine the winners of the long-term performance categories and we are excited this year to add 3 new entry-based categories.
