Industry success continues as Mandatum Managed Futures Fund secured second place in the Best Nordic Managed Futures / CTA Fund category at the 2025 Nordic Hedge Award.

The Nordic Hedge Award is an annual gala recognising outstanding hedge fund managers active in the Nordic region. Mandatum Managed Futures' recognition at this year's Nordic Hedge Award builds on the fund's recent industry success, following its earlier designation as Best Performing Fund in 2025 in its category at the UCTIS Hedge Awards. The fund has also demonstrated sustained success in the Nordic competitive landscape, having also received recognition at the Nordic Hedge Award in previous years.

"Our focus has always been on building an adaptive strategy capable of performing across different market regimes. This recognition underscores the strength of our research-driven, multi-strategy approach and our ability to translate systematic insights into a consistently executed portfolio. I would like to thank our clients for their trust and our dedicated team for their commitment", says Ville Rantanen, Portfolio Manager at Mandatum.

Launched in 2019, the Mandatum Managed Futures Fund follows a systematic and repeatable investment process rooted in quantitative research and disciplined risk management framework. The strategy captures trend dynamics across equity, interest rate and currency markets dynamically allocating capital and adjusting risk exposures as market conditions evolve. In 2025, the fund delivered a return of 8.2%. The strategy is well suited for institutional investors seeking uncorrelated return streams and meaningful diversification beyond traditional long-only asset classes.

Mandatum offers institutional investors access to a broad platform of credit and alternative investment solutions. Clients are served with extensive resources, strong investment expertise, and long experience in key asset classes.
