OUR AWARDS METHODOLOGY

Our data partner is LuxHedge. We do not invite submissions and we do not create or publish shortlists. We do follow LuxHedge 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 LuxHedge 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.
