Tahoma Capital goes Live with Aspen Hedge from FNX Solutions for New Hedge Fund Launch
Philadelphia, May 10, 2006 - FNX Solutions (FNX), a leading provider of next generation
technology SOLUTIONS for treasury and capital markets, announced today
that Tahoma Capital is now using Aspen Hedge to support its new
multi-strategy hedge fund. Tahoma Capital is an investment advisor
located in Seattle, Washington with an investment policy that’s driven
by a comprehensive risk control framework, with a disciplined compliance
process including modeling, pricing and accounting analysis.
Tahoma
Capital required a complete cross asset trading solution able to
seamlessly integrate with financial risk service providers, fund
administrators and prime brokers, with a targeted implementation of 150
days. Aspen Hedge's ASP model met those requirements, providing a
sophisticated trading technology solution able to manage multi-product
environments and multi-strategy scenarios along with real-time
connectivity to all their electronic partners.
Max Giolitti, Tahoma Capital’s Chief Risk Officer said: “We chose Aspen
Hedge from FNX because it is a robust and proven solution. We needed
secured access control and industry leading trading tools to support our
diversified pool of assets. Aspen Hedge met all of the requirements and
provided the connectivity and functionality we were looking for. Aspen
also understood our business and its sophisticated instruments.”
“We are pleased
to have Tahoma Capital as a new client.” Said Ray Krastins, FNX’s
Director of North American Sales. “ Our Aspen Hedge solution is well
designed to support their overall strategy to trade multiple asset
classes without taking on undue risk at an affordable, flat monthly fee.
This past year has been particularly exciting for us given the large
number of new clients we have brought on. Besides being part of a few
new launches, Aspen Hedge has filled a void with many large, established
hedge funds looking to gain a competitive advantage for their fixed
income, credit, equity and FX trading. Also, welcomed but unanticipated
are the number of referrals we have received from Prime Brokers looking
to provide their clients with better compliance and risk management
platforms."
