AWARD CRITERIA AND DISCLAIMERS

CAIA Scholarship

Established in 2011 and administered by the CAIA Foundation and underwritten by PAAMCO, the scholarship program was established in collaboration with the 100 Women in Hedge Funds (now 100 Women in Finance) Institute to support women seeking to earn the CAIA Charter, the leading designation in alternative investment education. The “100 Women in Hedge Funds/CAIA Scholars” program is offered annually to up to 10 individuals who have an interest in pursuing a career in alternative investment management, with a specific focus on portfolio management. This scholarship initiative, offered by the 100 Women in Hedge Funds Institute through the sponsorship PAAMCO was established to attract and reward rising female talent in the alternative investment field. Matarin does support 100 Women in Finance.

Consortium East

Consortium East was a forum for institutional investors and small and diverse investment managers. Sponsored by RG & Associates, Consortium East fostered direct manager contact with decision-makers from pension and corporate funds, endowments, foundations, fund of funds, and consultants.

Voted on by industry peers, the Emerging and Diverse Manager Award (EDM) is presented to firms based on the investment focus and philosophy of the firm, corporate diversity, performance, professionalism, and long-term viability of the firm. Matarin did pay a fee to attend the conference.

LinkedIn Top Voices

LinkedIn editors partnered with the LinkedIn Data Science team to measure the actions a LinkedIn member is able to generate when they engage on the platform – specifically 1) the volume of responses a person’s contributions sparked and the secondary spread of those responses, 2) the member’s body of work: are the contributions insightful, conversational and timely; do they seek to give and get help versus being self-promotional; and 3) does the body of work reflect the world we work in today.
All sharing activity measured took place over a 12-month period, from September 2018 to September 2019. As with all LinkedIn Lists, employees of LinkedIn and Microsoft were excluded from consideration.
