Mandatum Managed Futures Fund has been recognised as the Best Performing Fund in 2025 in its category at the UCITS Hedge Awards, which are granted annually by The Hedge Fund Journal.
In addition to the annual award, Mandatum Managed Futures Fund received distinctions for its strong two-year and three-year performance in the CTA Trend Following category (with assets under management less than USD 150 million), highlighting its consistent delivery of results across multiple time horizons.
Launched in 2019, the Mandatum Managed Futures Fund is built on a systematic and repeatable investment process, grounded in quantitative research and supported by a disciplined risk management framework. The strategy seeks to capture trend dynamics across equity, interest rate and currency markets, dynamically allocating capital and adjusting risk exposures as market conditions evolve. The objective is to offer genuine diversification and absolute return potential within a liquid, transparent UCITS structure.
“We are proud to receive this industry recognition. It reflects the continuous enhancement of our systematic investment framework and the disciplined execution of our strategy. We are grateful to our clients for their trust and to our team for their ongoing commitment and expertise", says Ville Rantanen, Portfolio Manager at Mandatum.
In 2025, the Mandatum Managed Futures fund achieved a return of 8.2%, with a two-year annualised return of 11.0% (2024–2025) and a three-year annualised return of 6.7% (2023–2025)*. The strategy is well suited for institutional investors seeking uncorrelated return streams and meaningful diversification beyond traditional long-only asset classes.
The UCITS Hedge Awards recognise excellence among UCITS compliant hedge funds globally, highlighting managers who demonstrate outstanding performance, risk adjusted returns, and consistency within their respective categories.
*In addition, Mandatum Managed Futures fund achieved a four-year annualised return of 7.0% (2022–2025) and a five-year annualised return of 6.9% (2021–2025)
