-- FXG10 Fund nominated as 'Best FX Hedge Fund' In the 10th European Performance Awards, Hedge Funds Review nominated the Capricorn FXG10 Fund for its second award. The tenth anniversary performance awards recognise the best directional and non-directional hedge funds. In the qualitative awards category, Hedge Funds Review is continuing its campaign to raise awareness and the standard of investor communications by recognising the contribution this activity makes to the hedge funds industry. The awards, recognising single manager hedge funds, are the most thorough and sought-after accolades in the industry. The hedge fund investment process relies on more than just numbers and the awards judging process recognises this. The judging process began with a quantitative screen over all entries to extract raw performance figures as well as other important metrics. The managers were then ranked on their returns, Sharpe ratio and returns over drawdowns with the top products on their aggregate ranking for these measures making the long list. Further statistics are also be generated on volatility, maximum drawdown and downside volatility. The European Performance Awards is the most prestigious event held exclusively for the European hedge fund industry and continues to attract the top names from the business.
