Founded in 2000, Harvest Technology specializes in developing solutions for hedge funds. Our work has helped many leading hedge funds to streamline their operational workflow, scale their business, and improve their portfolio/risk management. We are experienced technologists with subject matter expertise in hedge fund trading strategies, prime brokerage services, and fund administration. This unique combination enables us to deliver business results with minimal handholding, saving our hedge fund clients valuable time.

Portfolio Analytics  and Risk Management
Hedge funds who trade complex strategies rely heavily on model analytics to understand portfolio sensitivities. We have built a solution platform for portfolio analytics and risk management, developed with guidance from leading hedge funds, that is based on industry-standard models. It integrates seamlessly with existing trading systems and comes with a flexible reporting presentation for slicing and dicing.

Operational Risk
Hedge funds typically use off-the-shelf vendor products and platforms from their service providers to perform their various business functions. Most, however, end up with poor integration, data fragmentation, and disjointed operational workflows. We optimize workflows, develop system interfaces with reconciliation, automate spreadsheets, and aggregate information from multiple sources into a proper database.

Organizational Risk
Hedge funds are faced with significant organizational challenges, with a high degree of exposure to key-man risk, limited cross-training, and undocumented procedures. We help our clients mitigate these risks by using tools like Microsoft SharePoint to centralize information flow. We also conduct due diligence of internal procedures, and document critical business function tasks.

Hedge Fund Professional Training
Did you know that most of the people who work in operations, accounting, and IT roles at hedge funds have never been formally trained in finance, derivatives, and portfolio management concepts? We have developed a formal, MBA-level curriculum to help those firms who want to invest in the continuing education of their employees. Our content is practical, with hands-on modeling and diagnostics tests to reinforce the concepts.
