Who We Work With
Hedge Fund Investors
You understand that start-up, small, and emerging hedge funds can outperform larger managers, but operational and business risks often determine success.
We help institutional investors, capital allocators, and family offices perform operational due diligence, evaluate fund infrastructure, and identify hidden risks that may impact performance.
Hedge Fund Managers
You have a strong investment strategy, but operational complexity can slow growth.
Solidus Advisors supports start-ups and growing managers with fund launch consulting, outsourced operations design, vendor selection, and scalable infrastructure, so you can stay focused on investing.
Brokerage
We advise US and international firms entering or competing in the evolving zero-commission brokerage market, including FINRA registration, clearing structure decisions, and regulatory compliance strategy.
ATSs
We help ATS operators, issuers, and market participants design, launch, and grow compliant trading venues, develop liquidity, attract participants, and meet regulatory requirements efficiently.
