We are conducting a survey of the Hedgeweek readership to assess the best hedge fund performers and service providers during 2009 in a range of categories covering the entire hedge fund space. Managers and service providers are welcome to nominate their own funds/firms – with relevant justification. The response so far to the survey from our 56,000 readers has been significant, so send your nominations to us asap.

The results from this survey will be presented in aggregate and all individual answers will remain confidential. The awards, which will be backed by editorial coverage and global news distribution, represent a key marketing opportunity for winners, who will receive their prizes at a lunch in Mayfair, London in March. The deadline for all entries is Friday 12 February.
