THE LIQUID PLATFORM: PURPOSE-BUILT HEDGE FUND OPERATING SYSTEM

While order and execution management systems have been ubiquitous in the asset management industry, there has always been an unspoken third element that contributed to investment success: RISK. Liquid introduced the industry’s first OERMSSM (order, execution and risk management system) in 2013 – setting a new standard and incorporating the third, critical element that fund managers need for smarter, faster adjustments and more precise reporting.

The Liquid platform goes a step further, backing mission-critical front-office capabilities with managed services to transform manually intensive end-of-day processes into a seamless experience.  Its engineered to allow funds to raise capital at will by agnostic and flexible custody and prime brokerage allocation processing, and trade lifecycle workflows—it puts all your holdings in one place for access all the time, everywhere and in real-time.

THE CONSTANT LEAP AHEAD

The word “legacy” should apply to DNA, in its complexities and power of transference. It should apply to great leaders—their words of wisdom and future impact down the line.
