IT support for London hedge funds
Your fund runs on technology. Trading platforms, market data, investor communications, compliance reporting — and getting all of it quietly right is a specialisation of its own.
We built this practice around one idea. Your technology should be invisible while it works, and immediate when it does not.
We work with emerging managers running lean and with multi-strategy shops with established teams. The shape of the service changes. The playbook underneath it does not.
Trading desk uptime, without the drama
Bloomberg, OMS and EMS connectivity, market data feeds and risk platforms have to be there when you reach for them.
We monitor the infrastructure underneath them continuously, so an alert can be investigated without waiting for the desk to diagnose the infrastructure layer. Redundancy sits in the network, the compute and the connectivity layer, because that is where a bad morning starts.
Hand FCA and DORA evidence to someone else
DORA sets detailed ICT-risk obligations for financial entities within its scope. The FCA has separate operational-resilience expectations and introduces incident and third-party reporting changes from March 2027.
We can build and maintain the technical documentation, testing schedule and reporting workflows. Your compliance team retains ownership of the firm’s regulatory position and approvals.
Hedge fund security that stays out of the desk’s way
Deal data, investor personal data and strategy IP all need real protection. They also need controls a trader will not route around.
We layer endpoint protection, email security, identity governance and continuous threat monitoring into one managed service. Regular penetration testing and phishing simulations keep the team sharp.
Connect to brokers and venues with redundancy at every layer
For systematic and quantitative funds, network performance is part of the strategy.
We design connectivity to exchanges, co-location sites and prime brokers with redundancy at every layer. Every path is documented. Every hop is monitored. We plan for the one that fails, because one of them will.
Expect these four things from us
Hedge fund and asset-management IT is a deliberate specialisation for us, and it shows up in four practical ways.
- Our engineers know Bloomberg Terminal, Eze, Charles River, Advent Geneva, FIX protocol and prime broker connectivity
- We understand how the technology evidence supports FCA and DORA work where those rules apply
- You get a consistent team and current documentation, so nobody starts from scratch
- We have stayed small enough to know our clients by name
If that sounds useful, a 30-minute conversation is the easiest place to start. We will ask what works today, what does not, and where we could help.

When another approach fits better
If any of these describe you, we are glad to point you somewhere better suited.
- You need sub-millisecond co-location engineering as your core edge — we design and monitor connectivity, we do not build HFT stacks.
- You want an engineer physically resident on the desk every day.
- You already run an internal team of three or more with a genuine rota — co-managed may suit you better than full outsourcing.
- You need legal or regulatory advice rather than technical controls, evidence and resilience support.
