Rules for inclusion, entry criteria and judging decisions:
Funds interested in participating in the awards program must submit all information via the HFMWeek European Performance Awards Entry Form.
Funds submitting in all categories must have their management/advisory company or team based in the UK or Europe.
Funds must trade/invest primarily – defined as at least 75% of the portfolio over the last three years – in one or more of the 39 strategies described by the categories on the Entry Form; have a minimum of 25 million (USD) in assets under management ending December 2012; and have a track record of three years at the date defined by HFMWeek, with the exception of funds applying for a “newcomer” award in which case they must have a track record of 12-35 months of performance at the date defined by HFMWeek.
The judging panel comprises representatives from HFMWeek, leading institutional and private investors and industry experts.
