About the Award:
HFM Global and EuroHedge are pleased to announce the initial nominations for the second annual Emerging Fund Management Awards, which will be announced and presented at an industry dinner to be held at the Plaisterers Hall in London on Wednesday 7th November.
The awards aim to recognise excellence in risk-adjusted and absolute return performance among smaller and emerging manager European hedge funds across a variety of investment strategies, timeframes and asset sizes.
The majority of the awards are based on funds’ annualised returns and Sharpe ratios since inception, whilst we are also including this year some additional awards based on best performance over a 12-month period. For all awards, the performance period under review runs to the end of August 2018. The minimum fund asset size for inclusion is $20m and the maximum fund asset size is $500m.
In order to qualify for nominations, all funds must have outperformed their relative median index over the relevant time period, they must also be within 10% of their high water marks and their performance data must be listed in the EuroHedge database.
The awards categories are divided into fivegroupings:
Best performance since inception, for funds with assets of between $20m and $100m
Best performance since inception, for funds with assets of between $100m and $250m
Best performance since inception, for funds with assets of between $250m and $500m
Best 12-momth performance, from September 2017-August 2018 inclusive
Best new funds: performance since inception, for funds with 0-3 years track record and assets of up to $500m
These initial nominations are based on performance to the end of June 2018. The final nominations for the awards will be based on performance to the end of August 2018 and we will be announcing further rounds of updated nominations in the weeks leading up to the event.
The EuroHedge Emerging Fund Management awards are designed to highlight strong performance among the many smaller and newer hedge funds in the European industry – complementing the long-established annual EuroHedge Awards, which have been held every January since 2001.
Nominations are judged according to the same tried-and-tested quantitative methodology that has always been used for the EuroHedge Awards, based on a combination of annualised returns and Sharpe ratios. As ever, the principle is to let the numbers do the talking.
The HFM/EuroHedge Emerging Fund Management Awards will provide an opportunity for nominated funds and their various counterparties and service providers to celebrate their success.
