ClearStructure Financial Technology has launched ClearStart, a programme which provides emerging hedge fund managers ready access to commercial grade portfolio management software.
In selecting Sentry PM as their new core investment management platform, the emerging managers share a common goal to drive growth, improve operational efficiency and eliminate financial leakage.
Sentry PM provides real-time processing that is cloud-delivered, and supports all their front, middle and back office needs. This includes order management, risk, pre/post trade compliance, GIPS performance, reconciliation, reporting and computing daily Net Asset Valuations.
“Emerging managers do not have the resources of their larger peers and they need operational support as they become established. The ClearStart programme is advantageous in that ClearStructure literally backs its client relationships by taking a financial stake in their success,” says Pam Bloom, practice manager – alternative investments, InvestTech Systems Consulting. ”We engage with firms of all sizes and the business demands placed upon them can be an operational challenge. To the extent that companies like ClearStructure can target their solutions in a meaningful way to the emerging manager makes a real difference. InvestTech looks forward to adding Sentry PM to our list of viable products and service offerings to be reviewed the next time we perform an evaluation and selection for a hedge fund manager.”
“As we continue to grow our hedge fund business, we feel it is important to adapt to current market conditions and invest in the managers’ long-term success,” says Jeremy Hintze, chief operating officer for ClearStructure. “Resizing and targeting our solution is the responsible step to take as it breeds healthy competition amongst all the managers.”
