*The 2021 Risk Awards were selected by the editors and journalists of Risk.net, who evaluated managers based on quantitative (e.g. performance) and qualitative factors (e.g. sophistication and effectiveness of a firm’s risk management, adjustment to new technology, and unusual market conditions). As part of their due diligence process, the Risk.net editorial team conducted calls with existing investors. The three-part evaluation criteria can be found here: Judging Process - Risk Awards. Some nominations include an associated awards ceremony for which Saba compensates the award provider to attend the ceremony (e.g. dinner ceremony). This award does not constitute an endorsement by the award provider and does not express an opinion or view on Saba’s ability to perform its duties as an investment adviser. Ratings are in no way indicative of an adviser’s future performance, which may vary.
