London/ Luxemburg, November 20th 2025
Omphalos Fund, the AI-driven multi-strategy hedge fund, has been awarded the prestigious ‘European Thought Leadership of the Year’ title at the Funds Europe Awards 2025. This marks the second consecutive recognition at the Funds Europe Awards, following the fund’s win in 2024 as ‘European Digital Transformation of the Year: Asset Manager’.
The jury praised Omphalos Fund for its initiative to make AI’s role in investment management more transparent and sustainable as well as educating the public – in relation to its ‘Behind The Cloud’ series, which tries to demystify the role of AI in financial decision-making.
Pawel Skrzypek, Co-Founder and CTO of Omphalos Fund, said:
“Receiving a second consecutive recognition from Funds Europe is an important validation of our work. After last year’s acknowledgement for digital transformation, winning the Thought Leadership category shows how deeply our innovations resonate across the industry. We are committed to pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve in asset management – with transparency, scientific discipline, and a long-term vision.”
Carsten Böhme, Senior Advisor at Omphalos Fund, added:
“Thought leadership is essential for building trust in fully AI-managed investing. Our goal is not only to explain what AI does, but also to contribute to industry integrity at a time when ‘AI-washing’ could become a real concern. AI is not magic. It is a powerful, transformative technology but it must not be misused for unfounded marketing claims or superficial branding.”
Approaching its four-year anniversary on 31 December 2025, Omphalos Fund is preparing further steps to strengthen its institutional framework and expand its footprint across Europe and the United States.
