The HFM US Performance Awards 2021 took place on the evening of November 4 at the stunning Gotham Hall, New York, bringing together the US hedge fund industry to connect, socialise and celebrate together once again after last year’s virtual ceremony. The awards celebrated hedge fund, CTA and fund of hedge fund performance, encompassing the whole breadth of hedge fund strategy, from credit and equity to macro and managed futures.

We would like to say a huge congratulations once again to all of last night’s winners for their excellent and impressive achievements over the past year!

The next hedge fund performance awards in the HFM calendar are the HFM US Quant Performance Awards, for which entries close at midnight on Friday 5 November. See more details and start your entry over on the website: www.hfmusquantperformanceawards.com
