Born from The Cloud
As emerging fund managers continue to pivot around macroeconomic factors and performance pressures, they need solutions and tools that maximize efficiency and mitigate risk. What's more, survival is about thriving and finding a way to rise above the rest. This can mean many things – but the lowest common denominator is technology and how an emerging hedge fund chooses to use it. And, that’s precisely why we went into business in 2012. Our growth over the past 18 months is representative of our singular focus: to enable the alternatives community with the industry’s first cloud platform that delivers best-of-breed capabilities across order and execution management, pre-trade compliance, real-time risk analytics, reporting, shadow accounting and managed services.

And with our focus, we have the end investor in mind at all times. Our institutional quality infrastructure allows emerging managers to tick all the boxes needed to attract institutional assets... without the heavy expenses and headaches of legacy software.

What’s more, as a new company, we didn’t move to the cloud—we were born in it. And it is the greater mission of our firm to disrupt a broken market with technology that moves the tide. This isn’t about extra widgets or toys; or trying to stitch together old technology and host it with a 3rd party. It’s about function, and it’s about navigating the uncertainty of today’s operating structures.

It’s widely accepted on the Street, and off, that a single Order and Execution Management System (OEMS) is the best tool in the box when it comes to navigating market challenges. The next step in that evolution is the industry's first OERMS, or Order, Execution and Risk Management System – combining the speed, workflow, intuitive design and trading tools of an EMS with the extensive functionality of a high scale OMS, all with real-time pre- and post-trade risk analytics.

On the buy side, we all know risk is critical, but until today, very few—if any—providers were able to bundle risk analytics into the front office for proactive use when fine tuning and/or overseeing investment strategies. Not only will we continue to set ourselves apart from legacy approaches to business through our platform and services, but our view on this blog will be forward-facing – offering continued insight for our clients’ businesses and advancing a conversation that only becomes more complex as the unyielding flux of our industry grinds on.
