Be in the running

Any hedge fund or alternative investment strategy operating in or targeting Europe (or global managers with a European presence) can list. You should meet the criteria set for your relevant strategy category, including minimum assets under management, track record period, and compliance of data submission.

You will typically need to supply:

• Fund name, strategy, AUM (assets under management) and inception date
• Recent performance data (returns, risk‑adjusted metrics)
• Strategy classification (e.g., European equity, macro, multi‑strategy)
• Fundamentals such as manager biography, firm background and investor base
• Confirmation that you consent to our use of performance figures in short‑listing and publicity.
  

Listing is generally free. It allows you to be considered for nomination. If you progress to nomination or wish to attend the awards ceremony with a table, there may be associated costs (nomination fees or ticket/hosting fees). Please check the current terms for the relevant awards year.

By listing you ensure your fund is captured in the awards database and available for our quantitative screening and short‑listing process. Without listing, we may not have your data in time to evaluate you for the relevant category.

After you submit:

• We’ll acknowledge receipt and provide any follow‑up questions or clarifications required. Your fund goes into the pool of candidate funds for the awards.
• At the screening stage you may be shortlisted; if nominated you’ll be notified and given next steps (e.g., attendance, marketing materials).
• If you win, your fund and firm will be publicly recognised at the awards event and across our communications.
  

The listing deadline occurs well ahead of the awards event in order to allow full evaluation, shortlisting and nomination. Each year we publish the key timelines — you should aim to list as early as possible to maximise your eligibility.

Where possible we encourage independent verification of performance data (e.g., audited statements, third‑party administrator reports), and funds may be asked to provide supporting documentation during short‑listing.

No — listing simply means your fund is eligible for consideration. Nomination and winning are based on performance, risk‑adjusted returns, peer‑group comparisons and other criteria. Only the top performing funds in each category will be shortlisted and awarded.

Being listed and/or nominated gives your fund visibility in the industry, places you in a competitive pool of high‑performing funds, allows you to use “Nominated for EuroHedge Awards” in your marketing, and provides access to the networking and exposure opportunities associated with the awards.
