• A prime broker needs to have a platform that supports core business functionalities, including robust trade capture, exchange connectivity, asset servicing and others
• Hedge funds are increasingly expecting enhanced capabilities (e.g. data, platform) and more flexibility from their PBs (e.g. charging, pricing)
