Encompassing the full breadth of CTA, managed futures and quant hedge funds, the HFM European Quant Awards 2020 celebrated those firms outperforming their peers as well as recognising those service providers demonstrating exceptional client service and innovation.

Amidst the disruption and uncertainty caused by Coronavirus, funds are looking towards their service providers and partners to support them through the challenges that lay ahead. This means the need for service providers to separate themselves from their competitors and demonstrate exceptional client service and innovation is more important than ever before .

The HFM European Quant Services Awards 2020 were rigorously judged with the expert judging panel comprising of leading quant fund executives - carefully selected for their wealth of expertise. 

This year’s Awards were presented virtually at the HFM European Quant Summit 2020 on 14 October with winners announced across 19 categories.
