Author: Press Release
HedgePole, in cooperation with Hedgegate and Crossbow Partners, is pleased to present the 2016 edition of the Swiss Alternative Funds Awards which will form an integral part of the 5th Swiss Asset Management Day on April 7th, 2016 in Pfaeffikon SZ.
The event has become Switzerland’s leading asset management gathering, recognizing excellence in the hedge funds sector and promoting new and innovative ideas. The awards represent an unbiased and sophisticated selection of the best hedge funds relevant to Swiss investors. With over 500 decision-makers and senior executives participating in 2014 this is an excellent platform for fund managers to present themselves and network with the alternative investment community.
Following the rigorous assessment and evaluation process two types of funds will be awarded at the ceremony: best alternative fund managed by a Swiss asset manager on a single and multi-manager level and best alternative fund available to the Swiss public managed by a Swiss or foreign asset manager. This can be any compliant single strategy or a multi-manager fund open to public distribution in Switzerland with a UCITS or non-UCITS structure. All funds will be reviewed and judged by a professional jury and the winners will be receiving the award, recognition of excellence, at the ceremony.
Joanna Babelek, CEO of HedgePole said: "The Swiss Alternative Funds Awards is the must-attend industry event that attracts elite fund managers and investors from Switzerland and abroad. It is a great honour and pleasure for HedgePole to work hand in hand with the industry experts to select the winners and to secure a high quality application and judging process."
The Awards are already regarded as one of the most prestigious and accurate in the industry and are one of the few awards that rely both on a quantitative and qualitative data screening. The registrations for candidates are open and nominations can be submitted online by February 29th, 2016. The shortlisted candidates will be announced by March 25th, 2016.
