3rd October 2024:- Global investment firm Lighthouse Canton has announced that LC Beacon Global Fund, managed by Lighthouse Canton, has won the top spot in the Macro (Below $500m) category, at the prestigious 21st HFM APAC Performance Awards.
The HFM APAC Performance Awards are known for their objective and rigorous evaluation, using both Sharpe ratio and absolute return to highlight the hedge funds that best achieve two critical goals— managing volatility and delivering consistent, positive returns to investors.
LC Beacon Global Fund focuses on a dual-strategy approach, generating steady risk-adjusted returns with low volatility and correlation to equity and bond markets. It generates steady, uncorrelated returns by investing in short-dated fixed-income instruments, relative value market-neutral trading strategies and arbitrages across all major liquid asset classes.
Fund’s annualized return for 2024 stands at 9.43%, with a 1.02% gain in August, showcasing an impressive 4.01% outperformance over SOFR during this period.
Sanket Sinha, Global Head of Asset Management at Lighthouse Canton, expressed, “We are honored to receive this recognition for LC Beacon Global Fund. Our commitment has always been to generate superior risk-adjusted returns and create long-term value for our private and institutional clients.
