Competitive pressures on management fee structures as well as the drive towards higher returns lead many hedge funds into a situation of squeezing as much out of their IT investment dollars as possible. Outsourcing IT functions provide a lower cost alternative for these organizations.

The Sky Road Platform custom hosted solution brings the extensibility, integration, and sophistication of traditional enterprise software solutions to a hosted environment. Clients gain the benefits of reduced total cost of ownership and implementation project risks and with Sky Road's flexible subscription based licensing model, costs grow as a hedge fund's needs grow.

When deployed for a client, the hosted Sky Road Platform provides key elements of functionality:

• Real-time cross asset portfolio and risk management reporting tools that allow users to aggregate and customize their reports specific to their strategy


• Automated prime broker and fund administrator workflows and reconciliation


• Third party data provider integration for security terms and conditions and market data


• Integration with real-time market data infrastructure and electronic trading platforms


• "Plug and Play" to allow clients to integrate their own pricing and valuation models
