MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
Entity Exchange shortens the time
to open trading accounts.
OPENING TRADING ACCOUNTS IS TIME-CONSUMING,
MANUAL & ERROR-PRONE
To make the most of sophisticated trading strategies, hedge funds need to trade
with a wide variety of sell-side counterparties. These counterparties require a great
deal of information and documentation to establish trading relationships, and these
requirements frequently change and increase.
Hedge funds want to focus on trading, not document management. Completing
forms for hundreds of counterparties is a time-consuming and frequently manual
process. Finding the right documents and delivering them to the right counterparties
often involves combing through email inboxes and shared file servers. Tracking the
information sent to each counterparty adds to the complexity. Hedge funds are
averse to providing access to sensitive information unless they are sure it is required
to meet business needs. Managing access to this information in an environment of
constantly changing regulations and widely varied bank policies is an arduous task.
ENTITY EXCHANGE OFFERS EFFICIENCY,
SECURITY & CONTROL
Entity Exchange is a centralized, web-based platform that facilitates the exchange of
data and documentation between hedge funds and their sell-side counterparties.
Each hedge fund firm has a secure, private Company Profile used to organize
and store all of the information relevant to opening new accounts, in addition to a
workspace to fulfill requests from sell-side counterparties. When counterparties
send specific requests to hedge funds over the platform, Entity Exchange
automatically matches documents and data from the Company Profile to the items
being requested by the counterparty. Once matched, hedge fund users have the
opportunity to preview and send each document and form ensuring that their
firm maintains complete control over distribution to counterparties. In addition, by
leveraging secure web technology, Entity Exchange alleviates risks associated with
using email to deliver sensitive firm information.
