Our heritage

For over 13 years, the HFM Asian Services Awards have been celebrating the successes of the Asian hedge fund industry and grown to be a keenly anticipated staple in the calendar.

Due to Covid-19, the 2020 and 2021 Awards were held virtually alongside the HFM AsiaHedge Summit, providing an opportunity for shortlisted and winning firms to have their achievements showcased in front of hedge fund leaders.

For 2022, we were excited to be able to bring the industry together in-person in Singapore to celebrate, network and entertain.
