Get your company directly involved in bringing together leading hedge fund practitioners from across the industry while celebrating their achievements. HFMWeek would be delighted to work with you to make your company stand out at the 2008 HFMWeek EMEA Performance Awards as well as ensuring you gain great exposure in all our marketing leading up to and after the night!

Why association with the awards is great for your company!
With more than 9,500 hedge funds now dominating the space and more cropping up all the time, alternative investment managers are finding it increasingly difficult to stand out amongst the crowd. Some managers will boast of their low volatility figures or uncorrelated returns, while others will say the strong “pedigree” of their managers stands them in good stead against the competition. But no matter how you spin it, there is only one thing that really grabs attention: outstanding returns.

Just as investors do, the HFMWeek EMEA Performance Awards will identify the industry’s current leaders as well as the next generation of talent. The accolade of winning an award or even simply being short listed is a fantastic marketing tool. Therefore any company keen to have good brand exposure and direct interaction with hedge fund managers can clearly benefit from association with the awards. Opportunities for your company to be involved include sponsoring an award category, the glamorous cocktail reception, our spectacular casino, hosting a table and much more…

Sponsoring the awards is a fantastic way to:
• Raise your company’s profile in the hedge fund industry by associating with leading managers and investors
• Honour and entertain nominees, colleagues, existing and prospective clients
• Reinforce your business brand within the industry with your presence in our publicity and media campaigns promoting the event
• Generate new business by networking with award nominees and other guests
