Rule Financial has been recognised as a Certified Implementation Partner by Linedata Services, whose Beauchamp software suite offers hedge funds and alternative investment traders a highly configurable and scalable portfolio management system.

This recognition follows Rule’s successful implementation of Beauchamp systems in four European hedge funds, with several more currently in progress. Rule consultants’ roles have included defining clients’ requirements, managing development and installation, coordinating training needs and providing on-going support. Rule also oversees complex, large scale upgrades which require strong project management and operational support. The ‘Partner’ role also includes implementing customised electronic trading platforms and FIX connectivity.

Beauchamp CPP/Implementation partners are taken through an intense training course covering the intricacies of the hedge fund industry and detailed knowledge of Beauchamp’s functionality, installation and configuration. To date, seven Rule hedge fund consultants have successfully qualified.

Sebastian Kent, COO of Beauchamp, explained “Recent explosive growth in high volume electronic trading has led to our customers demanding ever greater levels of transaction speed and accuracy, with implications for subsequent reporting and archiving. Rule has been helping us meet those needs for our clients and make sure they’re getting the maximum possible benefit from our software.”

Steve Swindon, Head of Rule’s Hedge Fund practice confirmed that Beauchamp and Rule have a longstanding and successful relationship. “Our consultants offer the very highest standards of expertise and domain knowledge, and we feel very appreciative of Beauchamp’s patronage.” he said. “I look forward to working with them for many projects to come.”
