Capricorn Nominated by Financial News

During May this year Capricorn reached the final nominations stage for the Single Strategy Hedge Funds shortlist of the new Financial News awards. These awards will provide a forum at which the European Hedge Fund industry will, for the first time, gather to be honoured by Financial News and industry peers for excellence in hedge fund operational capabilities and efficiencies.
