Greenwich Prime can offer key benefits to a firm of any size. Our clients include large institutions, midsize funds, mutual funds, startups, funds of funds, private equity funds, family offices, endowments, and companies conducting corporate share buybacks.
We exercise the same diligence and “high touch” for all clients, monitoring their portfolios to take advantage of intraday market moves and information. Each client has full access to the entire team of senior traders and seasoned operational staff.
For emerging and mid-size managers, we can provide a sophisticated institutional trading platform without the expense and time required to establish their own. For larger managers, we can become an extension of their own trading desk. Benefits include:
Best Execution. The volume of our activity and our extensive industry relationships can produce advantages in liquidity and price discovery. We take a proactive stance, executing client orders and watching their portfolios to take advantage of intra-day market moves and information flow, all in an effort to provide best execution.
Information Flow. Greenwich Prime offers access to a wide universe of brokers, research, and trading information.
Uncompromised Client Focus. We serve exclusively as an agent of the client, and our business consists only of our core competency of trading. We do not trade on a proprietary basis, generate or sell research, or advertise our order flow. Our use of a quality commission management solution does not compromise best execution.
Insight and Judgment. Our experienced traders can provide unique insights into market or industry activities, and valuable advice on trade-related and technical issues.
Cost Savings.
-
Emerging managers can avoid the considerable infrastructure and personnel costs of an in-house desk.
- More established funds get a viable alternative to a complete desk expansion.
- A fund’s primary cost of trading becomes the commissions they pay. Outsourcing allows the conversion of fixed costs and capital expenditures of an in-house desk to a variable cost based on trading activity.
Risk Management. Business risk is reduced through our streamlined trading technology, and counter-party risk is minimized through centralized clearing and settlement. What’s more, the objectivity and impartiality of an unbiased third party are assets in demonstrating greater controls and transparency.
Value-Added Services. Greenwich Prime’s industry connections can be leveraged to find best-of-breed brokers, attorneys, accountants, independent research providers, hardware/software vendors, and marketing communications consultants; our experience can be leveraged for technical advice on accounting and operations; and our strong relationships with prime brokers can be leveraged to solve client’s operational issues.
