To be considered for the HFM U.S. Performance Awards 2026 a manager had to submit an application to the organizer regarding their firm and programs for review. There were no fees charged by the organizer for a manager to participate in the selection process. The awards were open to all qualifying U.S. and Canadian hedge fund, fund of fund, and CTA firms. To qualify, funds must have their management/advisory company or team based in the US or Canada. Funds must submit monthly performance data for their USD share class. Funds must have a minimum of $25m in AuM as of June 2026. Funds submitting for newcomer and digital assets categories must have a minimum of $10m in AuM as of June 2026. Funds submitting for funds of hedge funds categories must have a minimum of $50m in AuM as of June 2026. Funds entering any of the categories except newcomer, best digital assets and alternative risk premia must submit a 3-year track record of monthly performance data through June 2026. Funds entering the newcomer categories must have a track record of monthly performance data of at least 12 months and less than 36 months (that is between 12 and 35 months) through June 2026. Funds entering the best digital assets and alternative risk premia categories must have a track record of monthly performance data of at least 12 months through June 2026. Funds entering the long-term performance (5 years) categories must submit a 5-year track record of monthly performance data through June 2026. Funds entering the Long-term performance (10-years) need to provide that 10-year track record through June 2026. The Awards are judged by a panel made up of leading institutional and private allocators and investment consultants. Judges focus on absolute performance as well as standard deviation of returns and outperformance of the relevant With Intelligence benchmark index. They also take into consideration the relative AUM, 1, 3 and 5-year track-records, nature of the investment strategy, other supporting materials and professional knowledge they have about shortlisted funds to come to their decisions. This methodology aims to reflect how institutional investors assess hedge fund performance in their allocation decisions in the real world. The judges and With Intelligence staff have discretionary power to move submissions into alternative categories that they believe to be more suitable, or to disqualify entries. Each member of the judging panel has an equal weight in choosing the winners in each category they are assigned.
