Absolute Return is pleased to announce the final nominations for the inaugural Absolute Return US Emerging Fund Management Awards, which will be presented at a drinks reception at the Warwick Hotel in New York on Monday January 14th as part of the US Emerging Manager Operational Leaders Summit.

The awards aim to recognize excellence in risk-adjusted and absolute return performance among smaller and emerging manager US hedge funds across a variety of investment strategies, time-frames and asset sizes.

Nominations are based on funds’ annualized returns and Sharpe ratios over a recent 12-month performance period. The minimum asset size for inclusion is $10 million and the maximum asset size is $250 million.

In order to qualify for nominations, all funds must have outperformed their relative median index during the relevant time period under review, and their performance data must be listed in the Absolute Return database.

The awards categories are divided into three groupings:

  1. Funds that have been going for up to five years (with inception dates of November 2013 or shorter). Minimum assets $10 million; maximum assets $250 million.
  2. Funds that have been going for five years or more, with assets of up to $100 million.
  3. Funds that have been going for five years or more, with assets of $100-$250 million.

These final nominations are based on recent 12-month performance through to the end of October 2018.

The Absolute Return Emerging Fund Management awards are designed to shine a spotlight on the performance of the many smaller and newer hedge funds in the US industry – complementing, but not conflicting with, the long-established annual Absolute Return Awards that have been held for over a decade.

Nominations are judged according to the same tried-and-tested quantitative methodology that has always been used for the Absolute Return Awards, based on a combination of annualized returns and Sharpe ratios. As ever, the principle is to let the numbers do the talking.

The inaugural Absolute Return Emerging Fund Management Awards  will be an opportunity for nominated funds and their various counterparties and service providers to celebrate their success – highlighting the excellent results for investors that have been achieved by many smaller and newer hedge fund firms over the years.
