ActusRayPartners, a Quantitative Hedge Fund Manager, Secures Double Victory at the HFM European Performance Awards 2025

On 25 November 2025, ActusRayPartners won two prestigious awards at the HFM European Performance Awards 2025: 1) “European equity”, and 2) “Market-neutral”. These two accolades recognize the outstanding performance of the ActusRayPartners European Alpha Fund from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2025. ActusRayPartners is a quantitatively oriented but ultimately discretionary hedge fund manager seeded and supported by Sun Hung Kai Capital Partners, the funds management platform of Sun Hung Kai & Co. Limited (“SHK & Co.”, SEHK: 86). Established in 2019, ActusRayPartners has achieved significant growth, with its assets under management (AUM) increasing over 100 times to surpass US$2 billion as of 30 November 2025.As equity markets advanced over the performance assessment period, it is a significant achievement that ActusRayPartners’ equity market-neutral work (which carries near-zero beta) was strong enough to win against both equity long-short (which often carries approximately 50% beta) and equity market-neutral peers in the same evaluation window. Since the “Market-neutral” category was introduced at the HFM European Performance Awards, no other hedge fund manager has won both best equity long-short and best equity market-neutral in the same year. Additionally, no other Asia-based manager has won either of these two categories for, at least, the past decade+. “As a Hong Kong-headquartered asset management company, we are proud that our European strategy has been consistently recognised since its inception in March 2021, including winning an award in each of the past three years. We believe these awards reflect the strength of our Discretionary Probabilistic Investing process and the dedication of our team,” said the Co-Founders of ActusRayPartners.Tony Edwards, Executive Director and Deputy CEO of SHK & Co., commented: “Congratulations to the ActusRayPartners team on their remarkable double win at the HFM Performance Awards! To win in both the Equity Market-Neutral and Equity Long-Short categories is a significant achievement and a testament to their expertise and disciplined strategy. As a long-term seeding partner, we take great pride in their tremendous growth since our collaboration began five years ago. At SHK & Co., we remain dedicated to support and empower specialist emerging asset managers across Asia, helping them thrive in dynamic markets. ActusRayPartners exemplifies this partnership and commitment.”The HFM European Performance Awards is highly regarded in the hedge fund industry, honouring excellence in various categories such as fund performance, operational capabilities, and service providers. Organized by HFM Global, a leading source of hedge fund intelligence, these awards have a long history of celebrating firms that demonstrate exceptional performance and innovation. – End –About ActusRayPartnersActusRayPartners is a Hong Kong-headquartered asset management company equally co-founded by Andrew Alexander, Raymond Chan, and Patrick Cheung in 2019.
