The Mandatum Managed Futures fund has received a UCITS Hedge Award as the best-performing fund in its category for 2025. The annual awards are presented by The Hedge Fund Journal.
The Managed Futures fund was recognized for its strong two- and three-year performance in the trend-following CTA strategies category (where assets under management are under $150 million), reflecting the fund’s consistent performance over the longer term.
Launched in 2019, the fund’s investment process is systematic, based on quantitative research and disciplined risk management. The strategy aims to capitalize on trends in equity, fixed income, and currency markets by allocating capital dynamically and adjusting risk levels as market conditions change. The objective is to provide investors with diversification benefits and the potential for positive returns regardless of the market environment.
In 2025, the Mandatum Managed Futures fund returned 8.2 percent, with a two-year annualized return of 11.0 percent (2024–2025) and a three-year annualized return of 6.7 percent (2023–2025)*. The strategy is well-suited for institutional investors seeking uncorrelated returns and significant diversification benefits outside traditional investment strategies.
The UCITS Hedge Awards are granted to successful UCITS-compliant hedge funds globally. They highlight funds that demonstrate excellent performance, strong risk-adjusted returns, and consistent execution within their respective categories.
*Additionally, the Mandatum Managed Futures fund’s four-year annualized return was 7.0 percent (2022–2025) and the five-year annualized return was 6.9 percent (2021–2025).
