Prime Services practice expands to satisfy market demand
In recent years, we have developed our extensive knowledge of Prime Services, fuelled by the market's demand for consistently faster and more accurate reporting.
Our long experience of successful project delivery inside some of the biggest Prime Brokers, coupled with the deep domain and market insight we've secured in the process, has made the decision to expand inevitable.
Pressure on the traditional role of the Prime Broker has intensified during the recent market upheavals as investors have become more sophisticated and more demanding.
And meanwhile, alongside the shareholders and fund managers, the regulators are also seeking ever greater degrees of insight and control.
Helping Prime Brokers deliver the goods
A survey undertaken by Rule Financial examined the Prime Broker / Hedge Fund relationship in more detail than ever before.
This, together with our extensive knowledge of the Buy Side (now very much recovering from the worst excesses of the credit crunch) means we know precisely what Prime Brokers' customers really want. Critically, we already own the tools and possess the skills needed to assess a bank's ability to deliver the required levels of service while remaining both transparent and competitive.
The diagram below shows the variety of considerations necessary to consider in drawing up a Prime Services assessment.
