Interested in outsourcing trading and operations functions?

Then look no further than Meraki Global Advisors LLC – Meraki – which was formed to provides asset managers with outsourced global multi-asset trading, leverage management, and operational services.

Located in picturesque Park City, Utah, Meraki’s offering will generate alpha for Asset Managers through cost-efficient unbiased trading, leverage management, and operational solutions. Unique to the current outsourced trading offerings, Meraki does not affect transactions for customers through a clearing broker arrangement. Their structure allows them to remain a truly independent and unbiased extension of a client’s investment team, thereby operating as a pure buy-side offering.

“Current appetite amongst hedge funds, family offices, and traditional asset managers for highly-skilled outsourced trading and a scalable operating model is accelerating. Funds continue to face shrinking returns, downward pressure on fees, and increased regulations while simultaneously incurring more costs to run their funds,” said Meraki’s Founder & CEO, Benjamin Arnold.

Arnold is no stranger to the financial markets. He left a Senior Sales Trading role at Goldman Sachs as he saw disruptions in fund management create unprecedented opportunities for a premium outsourced trading offering. In addition to Arnold, the management team includes Chief Operating Officer/Chief Financial Officer Khurrum Ajazi, previously at Cowen Inc and Ernst & Young in New York, Chief Compliance Officer Joshua Boyer, whose previous employers include Goldman Sachs, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Alpine Securities, and Co-Head of Trading EJ Stockley, formerly with First State Investments UK and Singapore, and Janus Capital in Singapore and Denver.

The rest of his team has over 50 years of combined sell and buy-side trading and operational experience.

“Meraki Global Advisors offers more than a service; our platform delivers a competitive advantage by uniting savvy traders and innovative technology while cultivating long-term partnerships through trust & uncompromising integrity,” Arnold said.
