Direct Access Partners and Paladyne Systems have announced a strategic relationship to provide Paladyne FastStart, directly to clients of Direct Access Partners.

The combined offering provides emerging to medium-sized fund managers with a cost-effective institutional-grade technology solution that streamlines their trading and operations as well as enhances their ability to address due diligence concerns in today’s demanding capital raising environment.

DAP clients will receive a number of key benefits from Paladyne FastStart:

Paladyne FastStart is a fully hosted ASP solution including hardware, connectivity, 24x7 IT support and full disaster recovery, which allows hedge funds to operate their businesses at minimal cost with no IT infrastructure requirements.

• Broker-neutral platform: Paladyne FastStart provides hedge funds a true multi-prime trading and portfolio management solution that is broker-neutral and provides full operational support for any combination of prime brokers and service provider relationships.
