HEDGE FUNDS SEEK SOFTWARE EDGE AMID RISING COMPETITION

by Piyasi Mitra
10/12/2024




Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


Hedge funds are seeing advanced trading and risk management software as a driver
of competitive advantage, research by fintech firm Beacon Platform Inc. has
shown.

The research, which surveyed 100 hedge funds in the US, UK, Germany,
Switzerland, France, Italy, Sweden, Norway and Asia executives, highlighted
inefficiencies in current systems and a strong willingness among hedge funds to
switch vendors to address operational bottlenecks.

Over 90% of respondents reported spending excessive time consolidating and
integrating data from multiple sources, while 81% pointed to investment
evaluation and due diligence as time-consuming. Aggregating and measuring risk
across strategies and desks was also cited by 79% of executives as a major pain
point.



Those who rated their systems as “excellent” in terms of competitiveness were
more likely to report inefficiencies than those with “good” or “average”
systems, according to the study. This suggested that top-performing funds
recognise the need for continuous improvement to maintain their edge in a
fiercely competitive landscape.
Switching software vendors appears to be on the horizon for many funds, with all
respondents indicating plans to do so within the next two years. Notably, 55% of
those rating their systems as “excellent” expressed strong intentions to switch,
compared to just 20% of those with “good” systems and 6% with “average” systems.

Hedge funds to change vendors in bid to bolster risk management

The importance of back testing, which ensures consistency between live trading
and simulations by accounting for real-life costs and market conditions,
highlights the growing complexity of hedge fund operations. Back testing emerged
as a vital feature, with 66% of respondents identifying it as critical. Larger
funds, managing between $25 billion and $50 billion, showed even greater
emphasis on back testing capabilities.
Seamless transitions from research to production, another essential feature,
lagged in priority, with just 39% considering it very important.
Nearly 70% of executives expressed concerns that advancements in technology are
lowering barriers to entry for launching new funds. Additionally, 83% shared
they believe some colleagues may be planning to leave their current firms to
establish competing funds.
Asset Tarabayev, chief product officer at Beacon Platform Inc. said:
“Consistent, cross-asset, real-time views of positions and risks are enabling
technology-leading funds to quickly research, refine, and spin up new trading
desks and strategies when and where the market opportunities arise.”
