We bring a decade of buy-side expertise, having operated Bloomberg AIM, Charles River, and FlexTrade from the client seat. Our experience goes beyond implementation—we identify which platforms drive genuine alpha workflows and which create operational friction, ensuring your infrastructure supports, not hinders, your investment strategy.
What We Deliver
From OMS selection through FIX connectivity and prime brokerage integration — operator-level knowledge across the entire buy-side stack.
Vendor-neutral evaluation and deployment of order management and execution management systems. We know which solutions deliver and which oversell.
End-to-end FIX session setup, broker connectivity, and production testing with prime brokers and execution venues.
PMS implementation and integration with front, middle, and back office workflows — including compliance monitoring and risk attribution.
Data feed selection, normalization, and distribution architecture. Real-time and historical data management for quantitative and discretionary strategies.
Connectivity, reporting, and reconciliation between the fund and prime brokers. Deep familiarity with the major PB technology stacks.
Infrastructure design for latency-sensitive strategies — from co-lo site selection through network topology and hardware configuration.
We've been the client in these negotiations. We know the pricing structures, the SLA traps, and where vendors have room to move.
The Buy-Side Difference
Our team has hands-on operator experience with hedge fund technology across the full ecosystem — order management, portfolio analytics, compliance monitoring, risk systems, and market data infrastructure.
"We were the client. We know what the vendor demos don't show you."
"We've lived the production failures and learned from them."
"We evaluate solutions the way a CIO would — based on operational reality."
Ecosystem Experience
We managed the major vendors as clients for 10+ years. Now we bring that operational knowledge to vendor selection, contract negotiation, and implementation oversight on your behalf.
