The 10th European Fund of Hedge Funds Awards 2011 has opened for nominations. The accolades recognise the best-performing European FoHFs as well as honouring qualitative attributes of FoHFs.

The Hedge Funds Review European Fund of Hedge Funds (FoHF) Awards have opened for nominations.

Now in their 10th year, the awards are the oldest and most prestigious, recognising the best FoHFs in Europe. This year's event puts emphasis on honouring outstanding performance and quality funds.

The awards are the only event held exclusively for the European FoHF sector and attract the top names from the industry.

Awards recognising outstanding performance of diversified and specialist FoHFs over one, three and 10 years will be presented. There are also specific awards for best energy/commodity, emerging markets, in-house or Ucits-compliant FoHF as well as the FoHF of the year and of the decade. Platform awards cover seeding, managed accounts and Ucits products.

Qualitative awards this year have an additional category recognising the role advisory teams are now playing within the FoHF industry. Other qualitative awards include most innovative FoHF, best investor relations team and new FoHF launch (after July 2, 2010) among others.

All awards are for the 12-month period July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011 unless otherwise stated. All awards are judged on a risk/return basis and are for FoHF products based in Europe only.

Minimum AUM for the FoHF company is $500 million and for individual funds $100m, unless otherwise stated.

This year's judging panel includes Amy Bensted, manager of hedge funds at Preqin; Andrew Rodger, executive director at Stonehage; Simon Fox, principal at Mercer; and Tushar Patel, managing director and investment manager at Hedge Fund Investment Management, with Margie Lindsay, editor of Hedge Funds Review as chairman. Together they will consider the qualitative and quantitative aspects of each entry before deciding on a winner.

Winners will be announced at a black-tie gala dinner ceremony at 8 Northumberland, Northumberland Avenue, London on November 23, 2011.

Profiles of the winners as well as FoHFs shortlisted will be published on the Hedge Funds Review website on the evening of November 23. Winners will be highlighted in the December issue of the magazine.
