Abstract

It's no secret that hedge funds often hire more than one prime broker. What may be a secret is how they operationally and technologically support multiple prime brokers. When all of a fund's business is with one prime broker, the fund can use the prime broker's tools for profit and loss reporting, collateral management, and risk and performance measurement. When a second prime broker is introduced, the picture gets cloudy. Recently, prime brokers have been rolling out applications to facilitate the "multi-prime" business. This ViewPoint looks at whether the applications meet the needs of hedge fund managers, who demand not only functionality but also independence and data ownership.
