The Challenge

From inception, Alpine Peaks was an intentionally lean firm, consisting of a highly experienced four-person team. They wanted to take advantage of the best FinTech available to build a best-in-class operational framework. For Alpine Peaks, it was critical that any platform would allow all users to work and connect seamlessly to all counterparties including an outsourced trading desk, fund administrator, and prime brokerage relationships. As a new firm, they were also upfront about the necessity of any solution being cost-efficient.

“When doing my due diligence on software solutions, I was looking for an elegant solution that could provide operational efficiencies across the fund. Specifically, we needed a platform that could handle all of our trading needs, provide the ability to view and monitor our P&L, and meet my in-house reporting requirements.”  - Venera Giannetto, CFO/COO Alpine Peaks Capital.
