BUILD YOUR OWN HEDGE FUND
BUILD THE STRATEGY.BUILD THE TECHNOLOGY.BUILD THE BUSINESS.
You can build everything yourself. Or you can build from an environment already designed around quantitative trading, AI, institutional technology, research and professional development.

Select Your SuiteDashboards shown are illustrative. No member profit or performance data is displayed.
TRANSACTION COST ANALYSIS
EXECUTION IS MORE THAN CLICKING BUY OR SELL.
Professional traders analyze HOW trades are executed, not merely whether the market moved in the expected direction.
LPS LOW-LATENCY RESEARCH LAB
RESEARCH THE EDGE.
100GbE bandwidth does not automatically equal HFT latency. Actual execution latency depends on broker, DMA, exchange, carrier route, software, server location, colocation, market-data architecture, and order routing.
LPS does not promise trading profits from faster networking.
DATA
DATA IS THE RAW MATERIAL OF QUANTITATIVE TRADING.
- Historical market data
- Tick data where appropriately licensed
- Intraday data
- Economic data
- Alternative data
- Machine-readable news
- Research datasets
- Member-authorized data
- High-performance local storage

YOUR RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT FOLLOWS YOU.
THE BUSINESS SIDE
A HEDGE FUND IS MORE THAN A TRADING STRATEGY.
UNDERSTANDING THE STRUCTURES
SELF-TRADING VS PROP VS HEDGE FUND
These structures are NOT legally equivalent. This comparison is educational only.
Self-Directed Trading
Trading personal capital
A self-directed trader uses their own capital. This is the primary use case LPS is designed to support. Members may use the facility for education, research, strategy development, and their own independent trading activities.
Proprietary Trading Business
Trading company/firm capital
A business entity that deploys its own firm capital in markets. This is a distinct legal and operational structure from personal trading, with its own business, compliance, and operational requirements.
Investment Management / Hedge Fund
Potentially managing outside investor capital
Potentially managing outside investor capital involves substantially different legal, regulatory, operational and professional requirements — including specific licenses, registrations, exemptions, and compliance obligations under applicable securities laws.

YOU COULD BUILD ALL OF THIS YOURSELF.
THE QUESTION IS: WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO?
Building a professional environment independently can require substantial upfront capital, recurring technology expenses, office overhead, vendor relationships, IT administration, cooling, power, data licensing and maintenance. LPS is designed to spread access to sophisticated infrastructure across a professional membership environment.

LPS membership does not establish a hedge fund, provide regulatory authorization, or authorize anyone to manage outside investor capital. Anyone establishing or operating an investment fund, managing outside capital, or providing investment advisory services must obtain appropriate legal, tax, regulatory, and professional advice. All cost figures are current planning estimates only and are not guarantees of savings or outcomes. All hardware labeled PLANNED or UNDER EVALUATION has not yet been purchased or installed.
