Collateral and liquidity management for hedge funds

Maximise collateral and drive improved fund performance

Across all asset classes and trading relationships

Hedge funds need to balance returns, leverage and risk while managing complex funding demands across multiple counterparties, asset classes and trading strategies. Collateral management sits at the centre of this challenge, shaping margin efficiency, funding costs and operational resilience. However, many firms still rely on siloed teams, manual processes and fragmented infrastructure across trading, treasury and operations teams.

CloudMargin replaces spreadsheets and legacy, competing systems with:

  • One intuitive, cloud-native platform, streamlining collateral and liquidity workflows across counterparties, prime brokers, custodians, agreements and asset classes, delivering real-time visibility and control across teams
  • Cost efficient, modern collateral operations for sophisticated hedge funds — improving performance today, while building resilience for tomorrow.

The challenge of leverage, volatility and fragmented funding visibility

Hedge funds need to optimise collateral and funding in fast-moving markets while preserving returns, supporting leverage and maintaining strong operational governance. Yet margin, inventory and exposure data is often delayed, siloed or managed manually across prime brokers, custodians and internal teams.

Margin drag on performance
Inefficient trade and collateral allocation, fragmented inventories and limited netting visibility can increase initial margin, tie up high-quality assets and erode returns through higher funding costs.

Operational fragility across multiple counterparties
Managing collateral across prime brokers, dealers, custodians and asset classes creates complexity, particularly in manual workflows where margin processes depend upon disconnected systems.

Limited intraday transparency and funding certainty
Without real-time visibility of positions, margin and exposures, firms can struggle to make informed funding decisions.

Governance, leverage and risk pressures
Sophisticated hedge fund strategies require strong governance, resilient processes and clear oversight of leverage, counterparty exposure opportunities across the trade lifecycle, while ensuring regulatory compliance.
