The 3rd Annual Asian Master of Hedge Awards held last Friday by Eurekahedge and Hedge Funds World at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Singapore was a great success, with over 300 people joining us from over the world. On that evening, we also helped to raise US$79,900 for RICE (Returns Invested in Children Education); a charity fund that helps children and educational projects around Asia. Special thanks to all the participants, sponsors and donors such as HSBC Fund Services, Symphony Financial Partners, Swiss Financial Services, EIM and a list of others.
We are pleased to announce the managers who won the awards on Friday evening.
