The Hedge Fund Journal’s Awards methodology:
Our data partners are NilssonHedge and Preqin. We do follow NilssonHedge and Preqin categorisations, but we also create additional categories; this work is done by our editor Hamlin Lovell based on his experience. The risk adjusted return calculations done to determine the best performers across the various award categories are largely done by our data partners, but some are done by us. We contact the best performers – based solely on the data – and request their participation in the awards. If managers/funds decline to participate we scrap the category/award. We do not contact the next best performer to request their participation. We do not create or publish shortlists. Occasionally we do invite/accept submissions.
