Technology That Scales With You

Large primes expect managers to be technologically self-sufficient. Clear Street doesn’t.

We provide a real-time, cloud-native platform with open architecture, instant updates, flexible APIs, automated workflows and consolidated reporting – so you spend less time reconciling data across fragmented systems and more time generating alpha.

  • Real-time margin, exposure, P&L, reporting and financing in a single portal
  • Multi-currency support and customizable dashboards
  • Automated workflows and seamless integrations
  • Extend across asset classes and vehicles without “rip and replace” infrastructure

Prime Brokerage and Beyond

Capital Introduction

Targeted Connections to the Right Allocators

Raising capital is the top challenge for emerging managers — and Clear Street’s Capital Introduction team helps you navigate it with precision.

Clear Street's Cap Intro team helps you:

  • Articulate a compelling strategy story
  • Identify allocators actively (and selectively) open to emerging managers
  • Understand investor requirements, fundraising trends and economic term expectations
  • Align your fund with allocators who value niche strategies, performance potential and advantageous terms

Business Consulting

Your Operating Partner From Launch Through Scale

Emerging managers need more than just clearing and execution. They need a partner with deep operational, regulatory and technical expertise.

Clear Street’s Business Consulting team helps with:

  • Launch planning, budgeting and vendor selection
  • Building lean but scalable infrastructure
  • ODD readiness and operational best practices
  • Integrations, workflows and process optimization
  • Thought leadership, marketing and industry insights to support your strategy and growth

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Clear Street?

We are the premier prime broker to emerging hedge funds. Clear Street is a partner that has experience assisting new hedge funds at all points of their growth.

We offer a full-service, multi-product solution spanning research, execution, prime brokerage, FCM, custody, clearing and settlement. The same client service team will assist you when you are managing $25mn as well as when you are managing $1bn. We scale our services as you scale your business, providing not only the operational foundation you need but also the strategic support to help you grow.

Emerging managers need more than a prime broker — they need a true partner. That’s why Clear Street pairs its modern, unified, real-time technology platform with tailored capital introduction and high-touch, hands-on business consulting designed specifically for funds with lean teams and big ambitions. We deliver the tools, insights and guidance necessary to accelerate your momentum from launch to long-term success.

How do I get started with Clear Street?

You can download our "Scaling an Emerging Manager" Report or request a conversation with our team. We’ll walk you through how Clear Street can improve your infrastructure, reduce operational overhead and support your long-term growth.

What will I learn from the "Scaling an Emerging Manager" Report?

Our Report, adapted from an article we wrote in partnership with Preqin, shares emerging manager growth and market share statistics, discusses both technological and operational challenges and paths forward, and – exclusive to this edition – provides a detailed checklist for selecting Prime Brokerage partners.

How does Clear Street help emerging managers raise capital?

Our Capital Introduction team specializes in helping smaller funds articulate their strategy and connect with allocators who actively (and selectively) invest in emerging managers. We provide allocator fit guidance, fundraising insights and ongoing trend intelligence so your conversations are targeted and productive.

Can Clear Street support my fund as we grow?

Yes. Our platform and service model are designed to scale with you. The same client service team supports you at $25M AUM and at $1B+, and our cloud-native technology expands across asset classes, vehicles and regions without requiring costly rebuilds.

Do I need to build my own technology stack?

No. Unlike large primes that assume self-sufficiency, Clear Street offers a real-time, cloud-native platform with open architecture, flexible APIs, automated workflows and consolidated reporting. You can integrate or extend as needed — and you don’t need an institutional technology budget to operate at an institutional level.

Does Clear Street help with fund launch and operational setup?

Yes. Our Business Consulting team advises on launch planning, budgeting, vendor selection, integrations, ODD prep, workflows and operational best practices — everything outside of trading that may challenge entrepreneurial emerging managers.

Can Clear Street help me trade without building a trading desk?

Yes. Our Outsourced Trading team executes globally on your behalf, covering multiple asset classes and venues. We also offer DMA, smart order routing and a suite of proprietary algos for managers who prefer electronic execution.

What kind of reporting and analytics do I get?

You get real-time reporting on margin, P&L, exposure, financing, liquidity and more — all in a single platform. Managers can also build custom dashboards with advanced insights such as factor analytics and multi-currency support, eliminating the manual reconciliation that slows down small teams.

Does Clear Street offer treasury or risk management support?

Yes, including liquidity tools, margin transparency, stress/scenario analytics and optional delegated treasury workflows. We help you manage financing costs, cash sweeps and collateral optimization without needing a full treasury team.

Is Clear Street a good fit if I’m under $100M AUM?

Definitely. We regularly support managers starting with as little as $10M AUM. Our model is built specifically for emerging funds that need institutional tools and guidance before they have institutional headcount.
