The Emerging and Smaller

Elementa, Oceanic Hedge Fund, and Proxy Renewable Long/Short Energy were all shortlisted in the “Emerging Manager & Smaller Fund – Equity Strategies” at the 2022 EuroHedge Awards. All three long/short equity funds are among this year’s top ten best performers within the Nordic Hedge Index.

Elementa, a stock-picking equity fund managed by Marcus Wahlberg and Eric Andersson, gained close to 21 percent in the first eleven months of 2022.
