The annual Hedgeweek US Awards recognize excellence among fund managers and service providers in the US across a wide range of categories
Voting for the awards is conducted via an online poll of the entire Hedgeweek user base, where participants are asked to make their choice among the shortlisted firms in each category.
The manager categories cover a wide spectrum of investment strategies and fund types, – encompassing the hedge fund, multi-manager, and liquid alternatives universes. The service provider categories span all the key areas of the broader hedge fund industry ecosystem.
All winners are invited to attend an exclusive ceremony and networking event on Thursday, October 10th, at The Penn Club, in New York.
Awards host:
Aftab Bose
Head of Private Markets Content, Private Equity Wire
The selection data for the fund manager shortlists has been sourced from a variety of providers.
Nominations for all categories are based on annualised performance over a 12-month period from June 1st 2023 to May 31st, 2024.
Absolute performance and risk adjusted returns will be used to determine the final awards. Fund managers are required to have a minimum three year track record and to have their primary management company presence in North America.
Managers in the sub $500m categories are required to have a minimum AUM of $100m on 31.5.24.
Awards for the Fund of the Year and the sub $500m categories will be judged by our Investor Advisory Board and announced on the night.

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.
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
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
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
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.
