Futureproof your business

Decisions made early in the lifecycle of a hedge fund manager typically have one eye on streamlining costs whilst the performance track record is built, and assets under management grow. However, for many managers that start to approach scale, outgrowing their original choice of platform is an inevitability. They simply require more flexibility to continue growing sustainably. Orchestrade’s portfolio and risk management platform is a natural choice for many given the architectural design and completeness of portfolio management, risk and operational capabilities.

Orchestrade featured in The Hedge Fund Journal

"Hedge fund clients include some giants of the industry, such as three of the largest 15 funds in the US, one of the biggest in Europe and two of the top ten in Asia. Of more than 20 buy side clients, seven run over $15 billion. Taken together, the top five clients manage over $120 billion."

Comprehensive front-to-back functionality

Orchestrade provides portfolio managers with a dashboard that gives them a real-time view of their positions, P&L and risk. This functionality is delivered consistently across asset classes including equity, rates, credit, FX, commodities, inflation, and volatility. The platform has a wide range of market standard valuation models that can be extended to include third party or proprietary models.

Users can slice and dice trading activity by fund, strategy, trader, sector, geography, currency and many other factors. Adjustments to the P&L can be explained through identifying movements in rates, currency shifts, changes in equity markets and so on.

Orchestrade provides a broad range of analytics, sensitivities and risk metrics including greeks, cross-greeks, DV01, CS01, projected cash flows, value at risk (VaR) and beta to risk factors. Users can drill down into these metrics and attribute contributions from positions, groups of positions, risk factors, or alternatively across curves for key rate analysis.
 
Furthermore, the platform allows users to stress a multitude of risk factors including shocks to equity prices, FX, rates, credit, and volatility to assess the effectiveness of the investment strategy under a broad range of market scenarios.
Orchestrade helps facilitate more efficient integration between middle- and back-office applications, particularly IT innovations that eliminate manual systems, legacy solutions and pave the way for operational efficiency.
 
Its modern middle office functionality enables the system to live up to the product name — orchestrating and automating post-trade activities across a wide range of asset classes.
 
Once in the system, the entire trade’s lifecycle is automated based on industry practices and requirements, including confirms, payment schedules, corporate actions, fees schedules, accounting entries, etc., or allowing for the institution’s internal standards. The system is designed to be highly scalable and flexible, enabling significant economies of scale.
For funds that run shadow accounting, Orchestrade has a fully integrated general ledger with workflow to support all aspects of the accounting lifecycle including the generation of financial statements.
