The Event

We are delighted to announce that 2013 is the 10th anniversary of the Eurekahedge Asian Hedge Fund Awards and this year we will be holding the event on Friday June 7th at Capella Singapore; the only LHW hotel in the country.

The Eurekahedge Asian Hedge Fund Awards has seen a decade of celebrating the accolades of the Asian hedge fund industry's finest. With over 3,000 hedge fund industry guests over the years who have joined us from around the world, this prestigious event is well worth its place on the annual hedge fund calendar.

Eurekahedge remains committed to the successes of the industry and hopes to welcome new and returning attendees to a promising year in 2013. There are only a limited number of awards and tables available so please do contact us early to seal your participation and avoid missing out.

Charity Auction

We will once again be partnering with RICE for the Eurekahedge Asian Hedge Fund Awards. On the evening, RICE will be holding an auction to raise money for charity. We have put together a range of interesting items for the charity auction, found in the link below. Eurekahedge and RICE wishes to thank all bidders in advance for their support.

Nomination/Judging Methodology

Nominees for the Eurekahedge Asian Hedge Fund Awards are selected through voting by an independent panel of judges, from a working list of funds reporting to the Eurekahedge databases. All Asian hedge funds listed with Eurekahedge and operating as at the end of April 2013 are eligible for nomination. A master file of all eligible funds for each of the award categories (according to their regional/strategic mandates) will be compiled and circulated among the judges to facilitate nomination for the awards (note: consequently, it is not unlikely that the same fund would be nominated for multiple awards).

Once the votes are collated and the list of nominees finalised, the winners are selected by the panel of judges, weighing in on both quantitative and qualitative aspects of the funds in question. The quantitative discussion, while mainly based on 2012 performance, also evaluates 1Q 2013 risk/return metrics, on grounds of consistency in fund performance. The selection of nominees and winners is entirely under the remit of the panel of judges, and the role of Eurekahedge in this endeavour is limited to supplying data and moderating the discussion.

Judges

The winners are selected by an independent panel of judges based on both quantitative data and qualitative knowledge of the funds listed in the Eurekahedge database.
