The HFM US Quant Performance Awards are open to all quant and CTA funds based in North America. All funds are required to submit a completed entry form to be considered for the awards. In order to be considered, a quant hedge fund or CTA entering the awards must have their management/advisory company or team primarily based in the United States. Firms entering must submit a minimum track record of 3 years ending with their September 2021 performance figures. The minimum fund/program AuM requirement for each award category is $20m, as of September 2021.
HFM is an information and membership networking group providing services for the Hedge Fund Management Community. The award was determined by HFM: the winners are chosen by senior-level industry representatives who evaluated a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors, including annual performance as well as volatility, risk management, manager pedigrees, structural criteria, and track record.
HFM is independent from LongTail Alpha, LLC. While we did not pay any fee to be shortlisted for an award or to receive an award, we did pay HFM $3,200 for our right to promote the receipt of the award for which RightTail Fund I LLC was named the winner.
