The HFM US Performance Awards are the most important and influential awards in the US hedge fund calendar, with the best performing funds all vying for industry-wide recognition and celebration.

The awards recognized both hedge fund and fund of hedge fund performance, covering all areas of hedge fund strategy, from credit and equity to macro and managed futures.

The 2020 HFM US Performance Awards took place virtually on November 5 to provide a platform to still reward those hedge funds leading the way in the sector at a time when face-to-face events are not possible.
