to see so many new faces this year and the impressive turnout demonstrates the resilience of the industry.
A total of 14 awards were presented to the best performing Asian hedge funds with Segantii Asia-Pacific

Nomination/Judging Methodology
Nominees for the Eurekahedge Asian Hedge Fund Awards are selected through voting by an independent
panel of judges, from a working list of funds reporting to the Eurekahedge databases. All Asian hedge funds
listed with Eurekahedge and operating as at the end of March 2010 are eligible for nomination. A master file
of all eligible funds for each of the award categories (according to their regional/strategic mandates) will be
compiled and circulated among the judges to facilitate nomination for the awards (note: consequently, it is
not unlikely that the same fund would be nominated for multiple awards).
Once the votes are collated and the list of nominees finalised, the winners are selected by the panel of
judges, weighing in on both quantitative and qualitative aspects of the funds in question. The quantitative
discussion, while mainly based on 2009 performance, also evaluates 1Q2010 risk/return metrics, on grounds
of consistency in fund performance.
The selection of nominees and winners is entirely under the remit of the panel of judges, and the role of
Eurekahedge in this endeavour is limited to supplying data and moderating the discussion.
