Our latest survey of over 100 hedge funds and allocators reveals a striking paradox: three-quarters of funds turbocharged their strategies in just 18 months, yet every fund aggressively expanding hits the same wall – technology that can’t match their ambition. Meanwhile, allocators keep raising the bar – demanding niche, uncorrelated strategies whilst insisting on institutional-grade infrastructure. This report examines what’s really driving this transformation and how, while smaller managers cling to single-asset systems, leaders are racing to build unified platforms that handle today’s complexity and tomorrow’s growth.

Insights Report
Hedge funds have long prided themselves on generating alpha by interpreting the same data that everyone has access to better than other market participants. The industry, however, faces a not-so-silent data issue that threatens to chip away its fundamental value proposition. Our latest research reveals widespread data workflow fragmentation across its infrastructure, which in turn is creating costly inefficiencies across fund operations. This report examines whether transformation will be driven by competitive necessity or investor compulsion. While change appears inevitable, fund managers can either lead this transformation or be compelled through it – but they cannot avoid it indefinitely.
