Managed IT for
Hedge Funds.

Trading uptime and watertight confidentiality, run as one service.

A hedge fund runs on two things a lot of businesses take for granted: systems that never miss a market hour, and a strategy that never leaks. KAVIX runs the IT behind the desk so the session holds, the estate stays patched and monitored, and the edge stays inside the firm. Part of our financial services practice.

Book a Discovery Call What We Cover

Where a Fund Is Exposed.

A small team runs a large book. That concentration is the strength of the model and the shape of its risk: a handful of people, a few critical systems, and information that is worth more than the office it sits in.

An outage in the middle of the session

When order management, execution or a market-data feed drops during market hours, the cost is missed trades and slippage. The clock does not wait for a support ticket to work its way up a queue.

Your edge walking out the door

The strategy, the models and the positions are the entire business. A departing employee with broad access, a mis-shared drive, or one phishing click is how proprietary information leaves a fund quietly.

Fraud aimed at the back office

Redemptions, capital calls and counterparty payments make your operations desk a target for impersonation and business email compromise. One convincing instruction can move real money before anyone questions it.

Built for the Desk.

KAVIX runs the technology a fund depends on so the session is never the thing that breaks, and so the controls that protect the firm are already in place, not bolted on after something goes wrong.

Everything sits under one managed setup, watched around the clock and backed by qualified UK engineers who understand what a trading day costs.

Talk to Us About Your Fund
  • Trading-hours uptimeMonitoring of the connectivity behind your order management, execution and market-data systems, from Bloomberg and Refinitiv terminals to your OMS and EMS, with patching kept out of session hours and tested recovery ready.
  • Mixed Windows and Linux estatesWe manage the servers behind the desk, physical or virtual, across the Windows and Linux mix a fund runs on, so the box a strategy executes on is looked after like everything else.
  • Protection for your strategyLeast-privilege access, logging of who reached what, and a tight joiner and leaver process, so the models and positions that are your edge stay inside the firm.
  • Allocator-ready securityWe help you answer institutional due-diligence questionnaires accurately and put the controls behind the answers in place, so a DDQ describes the setup you run.
  • Payment-fraud defenceWe filter the impersonation and business email compromise aimed at your operations desk, and verify your domain against spoofing.
  • Resilience and evidenceEDR on every device, a security operations centre watching around the clock, device encryption, tested backup, and documented recovery in line with FCA operational resilience.

The Morning a File Server Went Dark.

Mid-session, someone on the operations desk opens what looks like a prime-broker statement. Within the hour a file server starts encrypting and the portfolio system stops responding, with the desk still trading and positions to reconcile before the close.

Left to work up a support queue, this is a lost trading day, a book nobody can see, and an incident the firm cannot account for.

With EDR stopping the attack at the first machine, backups that restore the affected systems in hours, and monitoring that logs every step, the desk keeps trading and the firm gets a documented incident it can account for. What decides which morning you get is what was in place before the email landed.

Questions Funds Ask.

Can you keep our trading systems up during market hours?
That is the first thing we design for. We monitor the connectivity behind your order management, execution and market-data systems, patch outside session hours, and keep tested recovery in place so a fault does not cost you the trading day.
Do you support our OMS, EMS and market-data terminals?
We manage the environment they run on and the connectivity they depend on, including the link your Bloomberg and Refinitiv terminals rely on, and we work alongside your OMS, EMS and market-data providers rather than replacing them. Tell us your stack and we will confirm exactly what we cover.
How do you protect our strategy and models from leaking?
Your edge is the whole business, so we control who can reach it, log who touched what, and tighten the joiner and leaver process that is where most proprietary data walks out. Access is least-privilege by default.
Can you help us pass an allocator due-diligence questionnaire?
Yes. Institutional allocators send detailed security and operational DDQs before they invest. We help you answer them accurately and put the controls behind the answers in place, so the questionnaire reflects the setup you run day to day.
Are you aware of our FCA operational resilience obligations?
Yes. We support the IT side of your obligations: mapping the systems behind your important business services, testing recovery, and documenting it, in line with the FCA operational resilience regime. Compliance stays with your firm; we make the evidence exist.
How do you support MiFID II record-keeping?
We keep the systems that hold your communications and records backed up, retained and retrievable, with Microsoft 365 retention configured to your policy, and we work alongside your compliance and call recording providers. The obligation stays with your firm; we make sure the records exist and can be produced.
What does moving to KAVIX involve mid-quarter?
We plan the transition around your trading and reporting calendar and handle it end to end, so moving to us does not put a session or a deadline at risk. You get documentation of what changed for your own records.
