Radiant, which was established two years ago, runs two funds which will both use the extensive portfolio management capabilities of Linedata Beauchamp. Norm Kumar, CIO and CCO of Radiant, said, “We selected Linedata Beauchamp for three key reasons: firstly, because among the systems we reviewed, and even an alternative that we trialled, it best handles the complex instrument types we trade. For Radiant, a second key factor was the ability to accurately shadow our NAV, which it does to the penny. Finally, our third reason was the fact that we have the system hosted by Linedata means we do not need to invest in the overhead of an IT department to run it.”
