Nominations for the 2025 Nordic Hedge Award

HedgeNordic is delighted to announce the nominees for the 2025 Nordic Hedge Award. The annual event aims to distinguish outstanding hedge fund managers from and active in the Nordic region. Nominees are determined using a quantitative model developed in cooperation with the Swedish House of Finance at the Stockholm School of Economics.

All constituents of the Nordic Hedge Index with a minimum track record of 36 months are eligible for consideration in the main award categories at the Nordic Hedge Award. The selection process relies on a model that translates performance-related metrics for each fund into a quant score. These metrics include last year’s absolute performance, relative performance in 2025 (respective to relevant NHX sub-categories), as well as Sharpe ratio, skewness, as a measure of downside risk, and absolute performance over a 36-month period.

Each of the metrics has a different weighting in the model. The five funds with the highest quant scores in each category are nominated for the Nordic Hedge Award. The list of nominees is handed to a jury board comprised of Nordic allocators (view this year’s jury board), who provide a qualitative-based scoring for each fund to determine the final ranking. Awards will be presented to the top three ranked funds of each category at the final event on April 22, 2026 in Stockholm.

The winners of each category, including the “Best Nordic Hedge Fund” of 2025, will be presented with awards at the event of the Nordic Hedge Award, which takes place on April 22nd, 2026, in Stockholm. Below is the complete list of nominees.
