Hedgeweek European Emerging Manager Awards 2023

Voting for the awards is conducted via an online poll of the entire Hedgeweek userbase, 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, 9th November, at Convene Bishopsgate, London.

Pre-selection data for the fund manager awards was provided by Bloomberg, based on 2022 Calendar Year fund performance (31st December, 2021 to 31st December, 2022).

To be eligible, nominees must be primarily domiciled in Europe. Managers represented are amongst the youngest reporting managers within their award universe. Additional criteria are applied per award category.

Bloomberg provides an extensive and continually expanding database of alternative products. Wherever your hedge fund is in its life cycle, Bloomberg has the data, solutions and industry network to take you to the next level.

To ensure your fund is eligible for future awards, please reach out to events@globalfundmedia.com. Questions regarding Bloomberg's Hedge Fund Solution, or specific questions regarding the pre-selection data and analysis for these awards, can be directed to events@globalfundmedia.com.
