Why should you participate?

For all the key constituents in the hedge fund industry – managers, investors, and service providers – the Hedgeweek US Awards provide a unique insight as to the most highly-regarded and successful fund managers and service providers in the hedge fund space. Based on voting from within the industry itself, the results help you to make decisions and choices that add value to your business.


For Investors


Knowing which hedge fund managers have outperformed in different types of investment strategies – and which service providers are rated most highly in various areas – is essential for investors. Help us to understand which firms have impressed you most.


For Fund Managers


Identifying, and working with, the best-in-class service providers across the hedge fund space is a key ingredient to the success of any alternative investment firm. Tell us which counter parties you rate most highly – and why.


For Service Providers


Understanding which hedge fund managers are strongest in the hedge fund space, and how the competition stacks up in your own areas of expertise, gives you vital business intelligence. Play your part in enabling us to identify who most deserves recognition.

Branding

Hedgeweek offers all nominees and winners the platform to increase their brand awareness during and after the awards process, highlighting their achievements

Voted for by participants within the hedge fund industry itself, the awards are a badge of honour – marking recognition and respect among peers and counterparties

Recognition

The annual awards provide firms with an opportunity to assess their progress and standing within the industry, across all the key areas in which managers and service providers operate

Benchmarking

With investor interest in hedge funds still strong despite the current challenges, it is more important than ever to know how you are perceived and where you stand out

Differentiation

On the Night

The Hedgeweek US Awards 2024 provide an excellent networking opportunity in a casual atmosphere where we’ll also be celebrating the achievements of the Hedge Fund community. Join us at The Penn Club where we’ll be bringing together over 100 industry professionals for an evening of fizz, laughter and entertainment.
