QRMO congratulates Riley Paterson for winning the Eurekahedge Award for Best Asia Long/Short hedge Fund in 2008. This award bears particular significance this year given the tumultuous times that have gripped the financial markets worldwide. The fund won the award because it clearly demonstrated its ability to greatly outperform its peer group while generating significant absolute returns with very little correlation to its peer group and related regional market indices. In addition, and perhaps more importantly, it showed that it was able to manage its downside risk during the biggest and sustained drop in equity markets since the great depression.

QRMO congratulates its clients Riley Paterson, Segantii Capital and Marco Polo Asset Management for achieving awards for their outstanding investment performances. Riley Paterson won the 2008 Best Asia ex Japan Hedge Fund category. Segantii Capital won the 2008 Best Asia Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund category. Marco Polo Asset Management won the 2008 Best China QFII Fund category. Importantly, these awards were achieved during perhaps one of the most difficult investing environments in the history of financial markets. They will be formally issued their awards at a gala dinner hosted by AsianInvestor Magazine at the Conrad Hotel on the 21st of May. Asian Investor Magazine is a leading publication dedicated to the region's asset management industry. Click here for more details.

A local firm, established by Mizuho market risk execs, tries to convince hedge funds that outsourced risk management is an inexpensive and safe alternative. For new hedge fund managers, most might say that their investment know-how is their leading skill-set. Then they find that they have the drudge of employing electricians, fixing computers and getting the carpets cleaned. Risk management however, is more of a grey area. Many might see that as part and parcel of the investment monitoring process, and an activity they want to handle personally, others can see as something that can be logistically useful to get outsourced to a specialist.
