Stockholm (HedgeNordic) –  On April 25th 2018, HedgeNordic announced the winners of the sixth edition of the Nordic Hedge Award in Stockholm. All winners were determined in a two-step process. First, out of the 154 funds in the Nordic hedge fund universe, the top five funds per award category were shortlisted using a model co-developed by Nordic Business Media and Stockholm School of Economics that takes into account several parameters such as absolute, relative and risk-adjusted performance figures. Second, each member of a judging panel comprised of industry professionals added their score for each fund to create the final results and ranking.
