The most influential awards in the sector
Year-on-year the With Intelligence HFM APAC Performance Awards remain the most important and influential hedge fund awards in the calendar, with the best-performing funds all vying for industry-wide recognition and celebration.
Nominees and winners are determined objectively, using a combination of Sharpe ratios and absolute returns. This quantitative approach ensures the awards reflect the two primary aims of hedge funds – to manage volatility and to deliver positive returns for investors.
To recognise the global presence of many hedge fund managers, the Awards have four categories open to entries from global hedge fund firms with over $1bn AuM.

An industry celebration
The elite of the Asian hedge fund sector will come together at the luxury Hopewell Hotel, Hong Kong on 23 September to celebrate their successes, reward their team, and connect with friends and clients.
Attracting an audience of over 300 senior executives, the spectacular black-tie dinner and awards ceremony is the industry's premier opportunity to network with peers and see your fund recognised among the stars of the industry.
Become a nominee
Nominees and winners will be determined objectively, using a combination of Sharpe ratios and absolute returns. This quantitative approach makes us the only awards to reflect the two primary aims of hedge funds – to manage volatility, and to deliver positive returns for investors.
The Awards will release two rounds of nominations, in May and June, with the final shortlist being confirmed with the June nominations. To be included in the nomination process, funds must report performance to the With Intelligence hedge fund database.
The first round of nominations have now been announced.
