5. Target State!, and what we are aiming for!
An IT systems to support Hedge Fund’s business must be:
•
•
•
•
Robust – if it work once, it should work always
Scalable – Arbitrarily large and complex processes should “just work”
Adaptable – Easy to change the frequently changing parts
Supportable – day to day support should not require source code knowledge
IT should not own systems !
• IT systems should be build, tested by IT team and handed over to business
people, like Traders, Quants, Operations …
Cost effectiveness
• Technologies are bringing significant process effectiveness and reduces
operational risk.
