Where the global banking system has managed so far to wipe at least US$100bn from shareholder value, the global hedge fund industry has emerged from the rubble in robust shape. According to reliable estimates, the hedge funds have bucked the trend to the extent that they have actually upped shareholder value by US$200bn. Mark Vink of Fidessa LatentZero explores how the hedge fund industry in Hong Kong is withstanding the credit crunch and adapting to ever-changing technology Published - Hedge Fund Manager (HFM) Week, Hong Kong Special Report, June 2008 More ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Next Generation Order Management? The need to deploy specialist technology solutions is one of the operational imperatives which hedge funds have been waking up to recently. On the transactional side of the business, this has led to a quest for more efficient market access, without having to disclose the size of a deal, or where it is being apportioned. CIOs at larger funds have been looking for a way to simplify the transaction processes their dealing desks are employing, even while maintaining multi-broker relationships.

Michelle Price reports how the relationship will change going forward. Richard Jones is interviewed.

Since then, vendors have been working hard to integrate their systems or build new execution functionality into their existing OMS offerings, in a bid to help firms become one-stop trading shops. Dan Watkins, CEO North America is interviewed. Published - Waters, June 2008 More ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bringing Sell-Side Technology To the Buy-Side Securities Industry News special reports editor Carol E. Curtis recently spoke with chief executive Richard Jones about Fidessa LatentZero's expansion into the hedge fund business, the changing face of hedge fund technology and how the current credit crisis and market volatility are driving funds' implementation of new tools and systems. Published - SIN, April 2008 More ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eye On the Prize With $15 billion assets under management, San Diego based Nicholas Applegate Capital Management (NACM) is somewhat dwarfed by Allianz Global Investors, the asset management giant that acquired it in 2001. But in its 24 years of operations, NACM has built up significant expertise and now trades a range of products from traditional stocks to quant driven strategies. Technology has rapidly become a significant enabler of the firm's business, especially as it embarks on making the transition from a vendor-built order management system (OMS) and then plans to add an execution management system (EMS), making it a trendsetter in adopting the latest entry in the expanded order and execution management (OEMS) space. Published - Waters, April 2008 More ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Roundtable/Webcast - The single, integrated front-office suite: still a pipedream? With the advent of integrated OMS-EMS platforms designed specifically for traditional investment managers and hedge funds, it has become increasingly clear that the buy side is moving towards the scenario where a single front-office system might be able to supports firms’ entire trading operations. Buy-Side Technology investigates this phenomenon, but questions whether this convergence of technologies will ever get to the point where the entire front office – including all business processes traditionally associated with the front office and the full gamut of asset classes buy-side firms are currently trading – is managed by a single application. If this is to be the case, what will the typical prerequisites be for such a system in terms of connectivity, advanced execution, compliance, order generation and management, and modelling? Dan Watkins, CEO North America, participates. Published - Buy-Side Technology, March 2008 More ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pipeline to accept orders from Fidessa LatentZero OEMS Buy-side front-office software provider Fidessa LatentZero has partnered with Pipeline Trading Systems LLC to enable users of its Minerva OEMS [order and execution management systems] to achieve institutional trading efficiencies without blotter information leakage. Traders using Minerva will be able to send orders to Pipeline directly from Minerva blotter with a single click while maintaining control of the order submissions and ability to join large block trading opportunities matching stocks in their blotter. The article includes comments from Fred Federspiel, President of Pipeline and Chris Gregory, Head of Connectivity Services at Fidessa LatentZero. Published - Global Investment Technology, Feb 2008 More ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Multi-Tasking Marks Fidessa LatentZero's Capstone Product Suite Nicholas Applegate Capital Management (NACM) had been using a proprietary compliance engine for its investment management operations, but found it needed to set and keep track of more rules than before. After signing on to use Fidessa LatentZero's Sentinel compliance system, the San Diego based money management firm found it could increase the number of rules without losing performance in tracking them, according to Sean Hudson, Manager of Investment and Compliance Systems at Nicholas Applegate. The article also profiles NACM's use of Capstone, and includes comments from Dan Watkins, CEO North America at Fidessa LatentZero, and Johan Erikson, Global Head of Trading at DnB NOR. Published - Global Investment Technology, Feb 2008 More ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fidessa LatentZero and Pipeline Partner on Leak-Proof Integration Fidessa LatentZero’s partnership with Pipeline Trading Systems LLC will give buy-side traders the ability to match up large block trading opportunities in Pipeline ATS with orders on their blotter without risking information leakage.
