100 Women in Hedge Funds, a non-profit organisation for professionals in the alternative investments industry, will award Geraldine Sundstrom the 100 Women in Hedge Funds 2010 European Industry Leadership Award at its London Gala on 30 September.
Sundstrom is partner and portfolio manager at Brevan Howard Asset Management.
Each year, the organisation identifies a woman whose professional talent, business ethic and passion for investing help define and advance the hedge fund industry’s standards of excellence.
“We are so pleased to recognise Geraldine Sundstrom’s talents as an investor and her commitment to the hedge fund industry,” says Effie Datson, board chair of 100 Women in Hedge Funds London.
Past European Industry leadership awardees include Leda Braga of BlueCrest Capital, Mina Gerowin of Paulson Europe and Gay Huey-Evans of Barclays.
Sundstrom joined Brevan Howard in 2007 and is portfolio manager of the Brevan Howard Emerging Markets Strategies Master Fund. Prior to joining Brevan Howard, she was a portfolio manager at Moore Capital Management where she focused on emerging markets across a range of asset classes.
Sundstrom will accept her award at the 100 Women in Hedge Funds Gala in London on 30 September 2010 at Middle Temple. This year’s London Gala theme is mentoring and the net proceeds from the Gala will be given to Centrepoint, the first of three charities selected under the three year Patronage of HRH Prince William.
Sundstrom will also attend the Geneva Gala on 22 September 2010 where net proceeds will benefit Solidarite Femmes (Women supporting Women).
