Question Title

* 1. Dear Reader,

The Hedgeweek Global 2016 Awards

We are conducting a survey of the Hedgeweek readership to assess the best hedge fund performers and service providers during 2015 in a range of categories covering the entire hedge fund space. To assist with the nominations, Preqin Ltd. has identified the top three funds (based on performance for the 12 month period ending 30th October 2015) for each of the fund categories. Managers and service providers are welcome to nominate their own funds/firms – with relevant justification.

Please make your nominations by completing this survey.

The awards represent a key marketing opportunity for winners.

We look forward to sharing the results of this survey with you soon.

Regards,

The Hedgeweek Team
