Why our latest enhancements matter...
This is why we are such a big proponent of the cloud-- there are so many conveniences that would be impossible without it in our personal and professional lives.  From simple things like managing playlists on Spotify to booking everything from a taxi or messenger, to ordering lunch (yes, lunch!) through UBER. 

Liquid, and our platform and services are possible because of the cloud-- a few years ago, a subset of our clients relied on legacy systems to get access to mission-critical metrics before the opening bell.  When the process failed, they were at the mercy of systems which at times took hours to re-run the analysis. We can imagine this made for some jarring and at times colorful conversations.  

With Liquid, the modern approaches we use to service our clients come down to the way our solutions were architected, and the people and processes that augment our wares.  Our clients told us simplification was key and it needed to span workflows across the most important aspects of their business-- namely trading, portfolio and risk management (once siloed functions), and the middle-office.  And, this concept of simplification had to be complemented with true mobility so the business was not tied to a desk.

Our latest enhancements across our solutions were driven by CIOs and heads of portfolio management who needed to peer into the drivers of performance and risk to take advantage of or minimize exposures to foreseen and unforeseen market conditions.  The Sector Heatmap and Performance Attribution dashboards in LiquidMobile are just two examples of how Liquid has simplified access to accurate, real-time positional data that can be used across the front-office to optimize strategy.

Comparison view of the Gainers and Losers based on month-to-date P&L.  This view depicts the top gainer in the fund versus the top loser; the second best gainer is then paired with the second biggest loser; and so on.
 

At its core accurate, real-time portfolio monitoring is a differentiator. While every fund has different needs, transparency remains King.  Fund managers, from start-up to established, have to communicate accurate performance and risk analytics to retain and win new mandates.  Those that rely on real-time data across positions, exposures, and ultimately compliance will be in a better position to showcase institutional control and justify the increasingly elusive two-and-twenty fee structure. This is where our modern technology and modern approaches to servicing hedge funds come into play.  The integrity and real-time nature of our data and analytics allow hedge funds and other asset managers to run their business through a single platform that plays nice with your existing clients, counterparties, and primes.  And, we continue to prepare you for future opportunities while signifying to your investors that the analysis you present is factual and accurate.
