Hedgeweek EU Emerging Manager Awards 2024

For more than a decade, Hedgeweek has been recognising excellence in the fields of fund performance and service provision.

An allocator board, peer surveys, editorial expertise, and data analysis go into selecting our winners, helping us build one of the industry’s most influential awards programmes. Each event is an opportunity for celebration, networking and, most importantly, recognition, attended by an exclusive list of 100+ C-suite leaders from the manager, allocator, and service provider communities.

At a time when hedge fund firms are having to dig deep, harness relationships, and find innovative ways to generate alpha, it’s more important than ever to acknowledge the emerging managers excelling in a turbulent environment.
