AsianInvestor performance awards: Calling for submissions

We kick-off the process for the 2010 Investment Performance Awards. Here’s what to expect, and what we need from you.
AsianInvestor performance awards: Calling for submissions

AsianInvestor is gearing up for its annual Investment Performance Awards, recognising the best in long-only and alternative asset management worldwide, as well as highlighting trend-setters in institutional investing and distribution.

Winners will receive their awards at our black-tie dinner in Hong Kong on Wednesday, May 19, so mark your calendars. Most winners will be announced online in late April, but some of our marquee award recipients and other prize winners will remain secret until the event.

Most awards are based on performance data culled from independent sources, which is used to generate a short list (our quant screening), followed by a pitch process -- the pick. This includes both long-only and alternative strategies. You'll find the list at the bottom, but we're afraid that when it comes to these awards, "don't call us, we'll call you". No special favours, sorry!

There are, however, some awards where we encourage you to nominate yourself. Click on the relevant link below to get more information. All submissions are due by Friday, April 9.

If you think your organisation is the best asset manager or the best player in alternatives, or yours is the best fund house in an onshore market, or you want to suggest a distributor or an institution for our marquee client awards, then please contact us at [email protected].
