JCF and Qualex Introduce New Risk Management Techn

The Certified Partner Program is part of the company's strategy in growing its base in the institutional investment management arena, which is known mostly for its hedge fund technology. The program is slated to use the software implementation resources of global third-party consultants that are approved and trained by Beauchamp.

Partnerships have become a strategic part of Beauchamp's business recently. In July, the firm made a deal with International Fund Administration to allow IFA to sell install and support Beauchamp's offerings through its technology division. The hedge fund administrator will be able to sell front-end portfolio management tools and trade order entry systems that offer both real time and historical profit and loss analysis through the agreement.

"Now with BFT working with some of the best recognized implementation firms in the business, the total package looks compelling from an institutional point of view," A Beauchamp client, Peter Dale, director of Pavilion Asset Management, said in a statement.
