Hedgeweek has announced the winners of the Global Digital Assets Awards 2024, which recognise fund performance and service provider excellence in digital assets.
The awards were presented at an exclusive ceremony and networking event today, 27 June, at etc. venues, County Hall, London.
The service provider categories were based on detailed research by our in-house team and a survey of more than 100 global-based digital assets fund managers.
The long-term performance categories were based on annualised returns over 36 or 24 months (as relevant) from 1 Dec 2020 (or 1 Dec 2021) through 30 Nov 2023.
Pre-selection data for the fund manager shortlist was provided by BarclayHedge and based on both annualised returns and risk-relative returns over 12 months from 1 Dec 2022 to 30 Nov 2023.
The winners of Fund of the Year categories were selected by our Investor Advisory Board.
