2024 Winners
Each year, the With Intelligence HFM APAC Performance Awards celebrates excellence in hedge fund performance.
The spectacular 2024 Awards ceremony took place on 16 September at the iconic Renaissance Harbour View in Hong Kong where we celebrated the hedge fund industry's star risk-adjusted performers, across a range of diverse categories.
The winners were determined objectively, using a combination of Sharpe ratio and absolute return, ensuring that the Awards reflect the two primary aims of hedge funds – to manage volatility, and to deliver positive returns for investors.
Competition was fierce, with a significant number of outstanding nominations - all the more reason to congratulate our winners!
