Preqin provides The Hedge Fund Journal with performance data based on information available on our platform Preqin Pro, which offers performance data covering a universe of more than 30,000 funds.
The performance data is compiled using public domain information and data reported to Preqin by the funds themselves. As Preqin is a provider of data, analysis, and insights rather than an auditor, the data we collect is not independently verified or assessed. Hence, Preqin cannot guarantee the validity of the information provided.
If a fund wishes to name Preqin as the data source for The Hedge Fund Journal awards in marketing materials, they may only do so if they repeat the above statement within their materials.
Our data partner is Preqin. We do not invite submissions and we do not create or publish shortlists. We do follow 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 Preqin 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.
