An unprecedented number of delays when sending out orders to market is costing hedge fund managers USD20 million per year, according to new research from TradingScreen.
A combination of operational inefficiencies and trade errors cause the majority of delays, while high costs associated with IT systems maintenance is also a significant contributor. The findings show that the most unprotected trade errors cost hedge funds anywhere between 3 and 10% of trade notional, which in some cases is USD5 million a year.
Time delays and execution slippage, which is the difference between the expected price and the price at which the trade is executed, impacts performance by 2 per cent of AUM, which results in costs as high as USD9.5 million annually. When it comes to IT support and administrative costs, a large hedge fund with USD5 billion AUM spends between USD3.5 and USD5 million.
