Incline Investment Management, LLC (“Incline”), an alternative asset manager focused on systematic investment strategies, today announced that its flagship Systematic Hybrid™ strategy has won Performance of the Year: Managed Futures/CTA Fund Under $1 Billion at the Hedgeweek® US Awards 2026.

The award recognizes the Systematic Hybrid™ for its performance in the managed futures category and follows Incline’s shortlisting across four categories at this year’s awards, including three performance categories for its flagship strategy.

“Markets are always changing, and that’s exactly why we built the Systematic Hybrid™,” said Ted Parkhill, Chief Executive Officer and Founding Partner of Incline Investment Management. “We’re not trying to predict what comes next or react to every headline. We’re focused on identifying trends, managing risk, and letting our process do the work. To be recognized for our performance in managed futures is especially rewarding because it speaks to what we’ve been working to achieve since we started the strategy.”

The Hedgeweek® win adds to a series of industry recognitions for Incline in 2026. Most recently, the firm was shortlisted across four categories at the With Intelligence 2026 Hedge Fund Performance Awards | US, including Managed Futures, CTA/Managed Futures – Long-term Performance (5 Years), Multi-strategy – Long-term Performance (5 Years) up to $1bn, and Multi-strategy – Up to $1bn. Two of these nominations recognize the strategy’s five-year performance. Earlier this year, the Systematic Hybrid™ was also named Best Performing Strategy over 5 Years in the Trend Following – Futures and Single Stocks category at The Hedge Fund Journal CTA and Discretionary Trader Awards 2026.

Incline’s partners have managed the Systematic Hybrid™ since 2012. The flagship trend-following program trades across 75 global markets, including commodities, currencies, metals, energy, equities and fixed income. The strategy is fully systematic and directionally agnostic, which means the strategy can benefit from rising or falling global markets, with risk management at the core of Incline’s investment process.

The Hedgeweek® US Awards recognize fund performance and service provider excellence across the U.S. hedge fund industry. Performance award entries were evaluated using industry-standard performance indicators based on data and supporting materials from the 12-month period ending March 31, 2026. Winners were selected through an online poll of Hedgeweek’s userbase and announced at an awards ceremony on October 8, 2026, at Convene in New York City.
