The Hedgeweek USA 2016 Awards

We are conducting a survey of the Hedgeweek readership to assess the best hedge fund performers and service providers in the USA during 2015/16 in a range of categories covering the entire hedge fund space. Firms with the highest number of votes/nominations in each category will be the winners.

Managers and service providers are welcome to nominate their own funds/firms – with relevant justification.
