RefinitivRefinitiv, a provider of financial market data and infrastructure to the buy-side, announced today that Singapore-based hedge fund, WeTrust Asset Management, has adopted its end-to-end trading workflow and data solutions to support its investment management operations. WeTrust Asset Management, founded by Keith Wu, former Head of Equity Investment for China Everbright Limited and three-year champion of China Securities Journal’s Golden Bull Awards, launched its flagship China-focused L/S equity strategy, WeTrust Absolute Return Growth Fund, earlier this year.

Comprising of Eikon, AlphaDesk, and REDI EMS, Refinitiv provides WeTrust with a multi-broker, cross asset, electronic execution platform whilst equipping the firm with automated pre-post trade compliance, integrated risk, modelling, rebalancing, and live P&L for order management. This is all in addition to Eikon terminals providing research and analytics accessibility in an integrated offering. From a back-office perspective, Refinitiv also facilitates the firm with its historical transactions, automated reconciliation with counterparties, performance and reporting alongside shadow NAV, dividends, and corporate actions among others.

“We are delighted to be part of WeTrust’s growth journey in Asia and to support their operations as the fund grows. The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted the importance of having strong and robust technology infrastructure for buy-side traders and asset managers to navigate the changing business environment. Our cloud-based platform offers a one-stop-shop solution for hedge fund managers, providing a seamless path to implementation and integration, yielding significant cost-savings and agility for our professionals across the buy-side community,” said Paul Palackel, Business Director, Trading Solutions at Refinitiv.

He added, “WeTrust’s adoption of Refinitiv’s solutions also comes in line with our strategic vision to expand our offerings as Singapore’s financial sector continues to grow and evolve. We aim to help clients get up and running in the region efficiently by delivering a scalable front-to-back solution that is flexible, compliant and interoperable.”

WeTrust Asset Management’s Founder and Chief Investment Officer Keith Wu said, “We have successfully launched a cross-border hedge fund with presence in the twin cities of Singapore and Shanghai whilst amid the challenges of Covid-19. We’re pleased to have partnered with Refinitiv to establish an institutional level operation setup and have been more than impressed with the adoption of Refinitiv’s investment platform to support our workflow as we continue our growth.”
