Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 27, 2026) - Westcourt Capital is pleased to announce that Westcourt Performance Portfolio (WPP), an actively managed diversified basket of some of the best-in-class alternative investment funds, has won first place for the Best 5-Year Sharpe Ratio at the 2026 Canadian Hedge Fund Awards in the Global Macro/Managed Futures/Multi-Strategy category. This award highlights WPP's commitment to protecting capital and delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns in all market environments.
"We are once again honoured to be recognized with first place for the Best Five-Year Sharpe Ratio Award. This recognition speaks to WPP's ability to deliver consistent, risk-adjusted returns to investors while serving as an important source of diversification and stability across a range of market conditions.
