Case Study: Fairgreen Expeditiously Implements Eze Eclipse to Help Scale Their Business

About Fairgreen Capital

Founded in 2019, Andrew Wynn, CFA and Ben Hakham set out to build an investment portfolio based on 50 years of combined investment experience. Based in London, Fairgreen Capital manages a discretionary equity investment process based on structural themes and equity selection while leveraging a quantitative approach to portfolio construction. The process was designed and refined when Mr. Hakham developed the system while serving as CIO of a family office. Shortly after establishment, Fairgreen launched their Beta Neutral, Global Structural Growth Equity Fund. The team aims to adjust the Fund’s volatility to maintain a beta neutral portfolio in order to extract alpha with minimal standard deviation of returns.

The Challenge

As a start-up fund and a two-person team, Andrew and Ben are obligated to wear many hats – portfolio management, trading, compliance, accounting, reporting, as well as others. Without any middle- and back-office resources, Fairgreen began its journey managing their fund with manual, and often tedious, spreadsheet-driven processes. Constantly on-the-go, jumping from meeting to meeting while working to raise capital, Fairgreen lacked a unified platform they could take on-the-road to manage their fund. Fairgreen needed a system that would unify and automate its investment operations from anywhere so they could focus their efforts on alpha generating activities.
