The annual Hedgeweek European Awards - hosted by Hedgeweek, with fund manager data being provided in partnership with Bloomberg - recognise and honour excellence among fund managers and service providers in Europe.

The manager categories cover a wide spectrum of strategies - encompassing the Hedge Fund, Multi-Manager, Emerging Manager and Liquid Alternative universes - while the service provider categories span all the key areas of the broader hedge fund industry ecosystem.

The awards follow a clear and transparent methodology. For the manager categories, the shortlists are based on data provided by Bloomberg - with the candidates being selected on the basis of annualised performance by funds over the 12-month period from 1 October 2019 to 30 September 2020.

More than 40 different single-manager and multi-manager hedge funds have been shortlisted across the 18 manager award categories this year, representing a broad and diverse cross-section of the European hedge fund manager universe.

For the service provider categories, the nominations are based on a widespread pre-poll survey of more than 100 managers and other key industry participants.

Voting for the eventual winners is being conducted over the next several weeks via an online poll of the extensive Hedgeweek readership, with participants invited to make their choices among the pre-selected firms in each category.

All the winners are invited to attend an exclusive virtual ceremony and networking event on Thursday 11 March 2021. The results of the awards will also be covered - along with profiles of the winners - in a Hedgeweek European Awards Special Report that will be distributed globally.

Voted for by participants within the hedge fund industry itself, the awards represent an important mark of recognition and respect among peers, investors, advisors, and counterparties - highlighting the achievements and successes of the leaders and top performers in an extraordinary and very challenging year.
