HONG KONG, March 14, 2022 — WTW (Willis Towers Watson, NASDAQ:WTW), a leading global advisory, broking, and solutions company, has won the Alternatives House of the Year (Hedge Fund) award at Asia Asset Management’s 2022 Best of the Best Awards. The award recognises the success of WTW’s hedge fund portfolio approach, and the custom-built strategies designed for clients, that outperformed the market over the last three years.
Over the last decade, many hedge funds failed to deliver, producing unpredictable returns and expensive fee structures. Many hedge funds did not offer real diversification during periods of market stress, clearly exemplified during the COVID-19 sell off. A key differentiation of WTW’s dynamic approach was to identify and then isolate skillful traders, and differentiated return streams, which can then benefit from market volatility and generate positive returns.
“This award demonstrates WTW’s expertise in providing institutional investors with solutions beyond traditional asset classes that can provide attractive returns with low correlation to mainstream markets.”
Paul Colwell | Head of Advisory Portfolio Group, Investments Asia, WTW
