Hedge Fund Customer Story

Hedge funds operate in an increasingly competitive commercial landscape, where declining fees and rising costs put pressure on trading performance and the technology that supports it. A Netherlands-based hedge fund recognised the need to enhance its infrastructure platform to meet its cost, security and compliance requirements whilst having scalability to enable the hedge fund to scale and acquire new funds and managers.

Six Degrees migrated the hedge fund’s server-based infrastructure, including Bloomberg and a number of bespoke applications, to Microsoft Azure. We also deployed Microsoft 365 to meet the hedge fund’s collaboration requirements and provide a secure user productivity environment.

By designing and deploying a Landing Zone based on Center for Internet Security (CIS), ISO 27001 and FCA standards and aligned to Six Degrees’ own best practices around policy and governance, we were able to migrate the hedge fund’s workloads whilst maintaining maximum security and control.
