Technology and Infrastructure Designed to Scale Systematic Strategies
Institutional infrastructure to support managers across execution, capital allocation, credit access, and compensation — with alignment built around sustainable performance.
Technology at the Core
Tailored systems. Institutional execution. Integrated risk.
Our technology infrastructure is purpose-built to support quantitative portfolio managers with customizable execution tooling, real-time analytics, and centralized oversight of risk and performance. Every system is designed to scale strategies without compromising control.
We design execution environments in partnership with each portfolio team, optimizing for strategy-specific needs while maintaining firm-level integrity. Our systems are engineered to minimize latency, reduce slippage, and ensure execution resilience.
- Co-located servers with major digital asset exchanges
- Smart order routing with venue-aware logic
- Low-slippage architecture for fragmented liquidity
- Manager-specific execution environments and integrations
- Real-time analytics on fill quality, venue behavior, and cost
Execution infrastructure is not an off-the-shelf layer — it’s embedded and adaptive.
Our capital deployment framework is supported by proprietary technology that continuously evaluates performance across internal and external strategies.
- Strategy-level and manager-level return diagnostics
- Peer benchmarking across current and prospective managers
- Cross-cycle analysis of drawdowns, volatility, and recovery
- Real-time and historical performance and correlation analytics
- Comparative scoring frameworks for risk-adjusted allocations
These tools provide a consistent lens for evaluating risk, persistence, and capital efficiency — across teams, styles, and regimes.
All strategies at Lighthouse operate within a centralized risk environment. Portfolio exposures, capital allocations, and live trading activity feed into our internal systems in real time — allowing for continuous oversight and constraint management.
Risk is not applied post-trade. It is integrated into the system architecture, ensuring that firm-level guidelines are enforced without interfering with manager autonomy.
Institutional Infrastructure for a Multi-Manager Platform
Custody, governance, and operational systems designed to protect capital, scale efficiently, and meet allocator expectations.
We partner with regulated, third-party custodians to safeguard assets off-chain and reduce exposure to exchange failure or infrastructure downtime.
- Tripartite arrangements between Lighthouse, custodians, and exchanges ensure that principal is never at risk
- Assets are held independently of trading venues, eliminating venue solvency risk
- Custodians integrate directly with fund administration and internal oversight systems
- Real-time asset monitoring, permissions controls, and reconciliation tools embedded in fund ops
Prime brokers provide additional protection through insurance wrappers and post-trade risk programs
Our relationships with leading digital asset prime brokers support competitive execution, efficient capital deployment, and scalable leverage.
- Access to financing and credit lines at competitive interest rates
- Margin and collateral management structured to support high-turnover strategies
- Preferential fee arrangements and trading rebates across exchanges and liquidity partners
- Live insight into funding costs, exposures, and borrowing limits through platform systems
