The Eurekahedge Asian Hedge Fund Awards 2014 returned to Capella Singapore for its 11th incarnation on 23 May 2014.

A total of 14 awards were presented on the night with The SFP Value Realization Fund clinching two of the three awards they were nominated for; the Best Asian Hedge Fund award, along with the Best Asian Event Driven Fund awardfor the second consecutive year.
Their double win was closely followed by Fortress Asia Macro Fund who held on to their titles from 2013 (Best Asia-based Macro Fund and Best Singapore-based Hedge Fund; both for the second consecutive year). Nominated in three categories this year, new winner Hayate Japan Equity Long Short Fund won the Best Japan Hedge Fund and Best Asian Long/Short Equities Fund award.

For 2014, Eurekahedge picked Children of Cambodia; a Singapore-based charity association to receive the proceeds from this year’s charity auction. A total of SGD$30,000 was raised through the silent auction of three paintings, and a live auction of one painting. The funds will be donated to support Children of Cambodia’s partner, the Angkor Hospital for Children. Eurekahedge would like to extend our appreciation to all winning bidders for contributing to this cause.
