Summary
Bramshill Investments announced that its Multi-Strategy Income Fund (BRLMX) was named winner of the 40 Act Fund of the Year category at the 2026 Hedge Fund Performance Awards US, presented by With Intelligence, formerly the HFM US Performance Awards. The ceremony was held November 4, 2026, at Guastavino's in New York.
The fund is managed by the firm's Securitized Products team, led by Paul van Lingen, Senior Managing Director, in the firm's Newport Beach, California office. The team manages over $2 billion across its related Securitized Products strategies. Bramshill has managed this multi-strategy 40 Act fund since December 2022. The fund invests in securitized bonds, and its portfolio managers seek undervalued securities that can produce consistent returns across varying interest rate environments.
In the announcement, van Lingen said the team had produced consistent returns with very low volatility since taking over the fund roughly four years ago, attributing results to decades of experience, risk management, and disciplined investment processes. Bramshill describes itself as an alternative asset manager with $7.7 billion under management as of October 31, 2026, offering strategies across debt and fixed income markets in both fund and managed account formats.
According to the awards methodology disclosed in the release, a panel of institutional and private consultants judges submissions on absolute performance, standard deviation of returns, outperformance versus the relevant With Intelligence benchmark index, relative AUM, 1-, 3- and 5-year track records, and strategy nature. The firm notes that awards are not endorsements of its advisory services and that past performance does not guarantee future results. The fund's risk disclosures flag securitized product prepayment and extension risk, interest rate sensitivity, leverage, and liquidity risk.
