The winners of the Hedgeweek European Emerging Manager Awards, which recognise excellence among emerging hedge fund managers and service providers, were announced at an exclusive ceremony and networking event today (14 November), at etc.venues, County Hall, London.
Voting for the awards was conducted via an online poll of the entire Hedgeweek userbase, with participants asked to make their choice among the shortlisted firms in each category.
Within each manager category and track-record cohort, we selected the funds with the highest compounded annualised return metrics to populate the short lists.
Service provider nominations were based on detailed research by our in-house team and a widespread survey of fund managers.
