Hedgeweek has announced the winners of the inaugural Hedgeweek US Digital Assets Awards, which recognise excellence among fund managers and service providers in the digital assets space.
Voting for the awards, which were presented today (24 February) at an exclusive ceremony and networking event at the University Club of New York, was conducted via an online poll of the entire Hedgeweek userbase, where participants were asked to make their choice among the shortlisted firms in each category.
The manager categories cover crypto and other digital asset strategies, while the service provider categories span all the key and evolving areas of service provision in the digital asset space.
Pre-selection data for the hedge fund manager awards categories was based on annualised returns over the 12 months from 1 September, 2020 to 31 August, 2021.
For the service provider categories, the nominated firms were based on a widespread survey of more than 100 fund managers and other key industry participants, with selections based on annualised performance over a 12-month period from 1 September, 2020 to 31 August, 2021.
