Investment Management Technology




As a staff writer for Waters Information Services, Craig McGuire was assigned the role of Managing Editor for Investment Management Technology (IMT), a bi-monthly newsletter providing unique coverage of the latest software, systems and vendors supporting institutional investors worldwide.

(Investment Management Technology was subsequently folded into Hedge Fund & Investment Technology, the result of Incisive Media's acquisition of Risk Waters Group. The decision to merge the two titles by creating a single publication focusing on the technology supporting the hedge fund, investment management and asset management industries, was a logical one as both covered ostensibly the same technologies yet in different markets.)

Investment Management Technology, and now Hedge Fund & Investment Technology, delivered up-to-date news and analysis on the business and technology trends and processes shaping the hedge fund, investment management and asset management industries.

Each issue provides exclusive profiles of hedge fund and investment management executives, as well as the buy-side's leading technologies and vendors, features and contributed articles. The publication’s subject matter included:

  • Portfolio analysis and accounting
  • Market, credit and operational risk management
  • Performance measurement and attribution
  • Compliance
  • Trade order management
  • Decision support
  • STP initiatives
  • Data management and protocols (RIXML, FIX, FpML)
