Judges<br />
The winners are selected by an independent panel of judges based on both quantitative data and qualitative<br />
knowledge of the funds listed in the Eurekahedge database.<br />
The five judges are:<br />
Peter Douglas,<br />
Principal, GFIA, Singapore & Chairman,<br />
AIMA<br />
David Walter,<br />
Director,<br />
Pacific Alternative Asset Management<br />
Company,<br />
Singapore<br />
Akane Hashimoto,<br />
Managing Director, Investment & Research,<br />
HC Asset Management Co Ltd,<br />
Japan<br />
Nomination/Judging Methodology<br />
Nominees for the Eurekahedge Asian Hedge Fund Awards are selected through voting by an independent<br />
panel of judges, from a working list of funds reporting to the Eurekahedge databases. All Asian hedge funds<br />
listed with Eurekahedge and operating as at the end of March 2010 are eligible for nomination. A master file<br />
of all eligible funds for each of the award categories (according to their regional/strategic mandates) will be<br />
compiled and circulated among the judges to facilitate nomination for the awards (note: consequently, it is<br />
not unlikely that the same fund would be nominated for multiple awards).<br />
Once the votes are collated and the list of nominees finalised, the winners are selected by the panel of<br />
judges, weighing in on both quantitative and qualitative aspects of the funds in question. The quantitative<br />
discussion, while mainly based on 2009 performance, also evaluates 1Q2010 risk/return metrics, on grounds<br />
of consistency in fund performance.<br />
The selection of nominees and winners is entirely under the remit of the panel of judges, and the role of<br />
Eurekahedge in this endeavour is limited to supplying data and moderating the discussion.<br />
