    CIO | Chief Information Officer

    Case Study

    Convertible Arbitrage Hedge Fund

    Overview

    This multi-million convertible arbitrage hedge fund was formed in the early 2000s by a group of former portfolio managers. Their current system processes were not secure nor suited to further enterprise expansion and needed modernising.

    Results

    The new systems that were designed and built by the Associate helped the company grow from $300m under management at the outset to over $3bn at its peak. Efficiency wise, the company’s total head count never exceeded 24 members of staff across four offices.
