Treasury management and portfolio finance solutions provider Hazeltree has partnered with IHS Markit to provide clients with an integrated treasury and portfolio finance solution, facilitated by the latter’s securities finance dataset.
As a critical information, analytics and solutions firm, IHS Markit’s securities finance dataset provides hedge fund managers with an end-to-end alternative data value chain that includes analysis of stock loan data.
The dataset also provides access to expert insight on asset allocation, risk management, short seller demand, supply and borrow costs, allowing clients to have a competitive advantage.
The new solution will allow Hazeltree’s clients to improve the efficiency and transparency of trading, as well as gain an overview of their margin and risk profile.
Paul Wilson, managing director and global head of securities finance at IHS Markit, explains: “Our mission is to not only provide the broadest, deepest and most accurate data and analytics, but to also assist our clients across all segments to address and solve other challenges they face when navigating the stock loan market.”
“Bringing together Hazeltree’s expertise and IHS Markit’s data to produce an integrated solution fits completely with this objective and is exactly what our clients need.”
Sameer Shalaby, president and CEO of Hazeltree, adds: “Given the significant overlap of the IHS Markit and Hazeltree customer base, it makes great sense to provide our mutual clients with this valuable capability. We are excited to work with IHS Markit to support alternative investment managers with our industry-leading combined solution.”
