We are excited to announce that Meraki Global Advisors has once again made a remarkable impression in The Outsourced Trading Handbook 2024, published by The TRADE and Global Custodian. As the industry continues to evolve, Meraki has demonstrated resilience, adaptability, and excellence in serving its global clientele. The latest results from the Outsourced Trading Survey reveal not only strong performance across various categories but also affirm the firm’s commitment to delivering superiortrade management solutions.

Firmly Above Overall Global Average

Meraki’s overall average score of 6.42 (out of 7) places it comfortably above the global average of 6.04, solidifying its position in the “Very Good” camp. In fact, Meraki’s standout performances were in several crucial categories, including Execution and Service Level Factors, both scoring an impressive 6.67 vs 6.22 and 6.16 global averages respectively. This places them firmly ahead of their global peers, especially notable in a year when many other providers saw slight downturns in the survey.

The firm’s Trade Decision Support category also saw significant growth, improving by 0.29 basis points over the previous year and outperforming the global average by a striking 0.72 points. This underscores Meraki’s ability to offer expert insights and recommendations, making a measurable impact on its clients’ investment decisions.

IPO Process: A Clear Winner

One of the more interesting developments this year was the introduction of the IPO Process and Allocations category, where Meraki received a commendable score of 6.40, far exceeding the global average of 5.33. This is a testament to Meraki’s skill in navigating complex IPO environments, communicating client’s intentions appropriately, and ensuring clients receive the best possible outcomes in a competitive market.

Client-Centric and Customizable Solutions

At the heart of Meraki’s success is its client-first approach, which has resonated deeply with its global client base. Described by one client as “the Cadillac model,” Meraki’s customized, high-touch service is far from the “one-size-fits-all” traditional broker-dealer model. This sentiment was echoed in the survey, with an overwhelming 57% of clients rating Meraki’s overall service as “Excellent.”

Additionally, 100% of respondents stated that they would recommend Meraki Global Advisors to their industry peers. This speaks volumes about the trust and satisfaction clients have in the firm’s ability to deliver both operational efficiency and strategic growth support.

Standing Strong in a Competitive Market

As Meraki points out, there is a growing realization in the industry that “if something is free, then you are the product.” This shift has led to higher expectations from clients, who are increasingly valuing tailored and complex service offerings over low-cost alternatives. Meraki’s differentiation in the market is clear: their ability to “thrive on complexity” and “scale with clients’ strategies” sets them apart, as evidenced by their consistently high scores.

Looking Ahead

Meraki Global Advisors has shown that it is not only keeping pace with the evolving outsourced trading landscape but also setting new standards. Given their client-first approach, differentiated model, and commitment to excellence, it’s safe to say that Meraki will continue to excel in future surveys and maintain its position as a leader in the industry.

We are proud of what Meraki has accomplished and look forward to another year of success, innovation, and continued client satisfaction.

Meraki has recently added digital-assets trading to its broad list of supported asset classes

A traditional finance outsourced trading operation that dabbles in everything from equities to structured products is entering the cryptocurrency arena. 

Goldman Sachs veteran Ben Arnold’s Meraki Global Advisors has been building out its initial crypto book with a small number of digital-asset-focused hedge funds and plans to expand further into the space in short order. The venture is one of the first — if not the inaugural — traditional finance outsourced trading firms entering digital assets. 

Park City, Utah-based Meraki is also in the process of inking a number of partnerships with crypto-native operations, including Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital. Arnold and his team are aiming to start by executing spot crypto trades during US trading hours, with plans to expand in Asia down the line. The firm already has a presence in Hong Kong and New Zealand.

There’s also a plan for a capital-introduction-like service to help crypto natives with promising strategies who lack the requisite expertise to woo institutional investors and the Wall Street crowd more broadly. 

Institutional investors’ moving into crypto has brought with it the demands for solid service providers considered a prerequisite for traditional finance hedge funds — which Arnold said he sees as an opening. 

Michael Ashby, Meraki’s chief operating officer who is leading the crypto effort, said an increasing number of hedge funds are becoming “crossover funds,” or introducing crypto to their stock-trading strategies.

Considering the value of new launches in traditional finance has shrunk in the past couple of years as deep-pocketed limited partners redeem funds from underperforming portfolio managers, digital assets offer Meraki another revenue stream, according to Ashby. The firm’s median client now oversees about $1.3 billion in assets under management. 

Meraki has about half a dozen incoming or trial clients. 

Traditional finance veteran Duncan Simmons, who is prepping his own digital assets-focused hedge fund launch, said he’ll be one of Meraki’s first clients once his startup kicks off trading. Simmons’ venture, Aqxa Research, plans to start trading this summer. 

Simmons, who previously worked in stock-picking roles for firms including Coatue Management and Iridian Asset Management, said if launching a traditional finance-focused hedge fund is “difficult,” then getting an institutional crypto strategy off the ground is “extremely difficult, given the immaturity in the industry.” 

“Service providers and the trading ventures are fractured,” he said. “So, that all has to be solved with people…having a service provider that can give you that kind of service is extremely useful.”

He brings a wealth of insights and deep knowledge of the regulatory and operational risk framework required to succeed in the Asia Pacific markets,” said Benjamin Arnold, Founder and Managing Partner of Meraki Global Advisors. “Asset managers in Asia have complex and evolving requirements—both within the region and as they increasingly reach beyond Asia Pacific markets. The strategic decision to open the APAC headquarters in Hong Kong enables us to provide flexible and bespoke outsourced trading solutions to meet these growing demands. At the same time, being firmly planted in the region under Don’s leadership bolsters our position as a trusted multi-asset outsourced trading partner for managers based across the world seeking customized solutions in Asia.” 

Mr. Lee joins Meraki with an expansive network of relationships throughout Asia, Europe, and the US. He has a proven track record of building high caliber teams and successful businesses, transforming them into recognized market leaders across Asia Pacific – all with the central goal of advancing the success of clients by putting their needs as the top priority and providing best in class solutions. 

“Adoption of outsourced trading is growing worldwide and entering a particularly exciting stage in Asia,” said Mr. Lee. “I’m proud to join the Meraki team and look forward to delivering our uniquely independent, and, more importantly, fully unconflicted model to asset managers in the region. The operating environment in Hong Kong is undoubtedly challenging right now—but we are committed to making a long-term investment in what we firmly believe will remain as the critical resource center and important gateway to Greater China and the entire Asia Pacific region. I am confident our clients will benefit from the proven advantages of having direct access to our fully dedicated resources in the heart of the region.” 

Mr. Lee joins with more than 25 years of experience overseeing top client-facing businesses in Asia Pacific financial markets. Most recently, he served as co-head of Asia Pacific execution services for Deutsche Bank. Previously, Mr. Lee spent more than 17 years at Credit Suisse. Initially based in Seoul, where he oversaw the growth of the firm’s institutional equities trading business in Korea, he was then promoted to lead the firm’s Asia Pacific client trading and execution services as well as the Asia Pacific cash equities business from Hong Kong. Mr. Lee started his financial services career in Seoul in equities sales and trading for various local and international brokerages, including Morgan Stanley and Peregrine Securities. He graduated from the University of Western Ontario, Canada.

Simon Kelt joins Meraki Global Advisors as Head of Asia Pacific Trading

Meraki Global Advisors, the industry’s leading global multi-asset outsourced trading firm, today announced the hire of Simon Kelt as Head of APAC Trading to meet the growing demand for its outsourced trading services in the Asia Pacific region.

Meraki has achieved considerable growth since the firm launched in Park City, Utah nearly two years ago as more buy-side firms become aware of the advantages that a multi-asset outsourced trading partner can provide. As of late, portfolio managers’ desire to trade across all asset classes in response to the pandemic and market dislocations has soared. Meraki has been well positioned to assist asset managers who trade up and down the capital structure through a sophisticated outsourcing model which is fully aligned and integrated with their investment teams.

Kelt brings more than 15 years of global multi-asset trading experience from roles based in Hong Kong, India, and London. He spent the last ten years in Asia, most recently at HSBC in Hong Kong trading Asian equities and derivatives with a focus on greater China where he was instrumental in developing and building out the business. Simon began his career at JP Morgan in London where he worked on the equity swaps desk before progressing to trade European equities for Libertas Capital.

Meraki’s full-service outsourced solutions are tailored to the individual needs of each manager. The integrated, supplemental, and emerging manager solutions they provide are designed to meet the unique demands of managers of all sizes and maturities, while also being completely customizable. “Meraki understands the challenges facing fund managers who want to execute their global cross-asset strategies and grow their businesses. We help them execute on their strategy while saving them the burden of building and maintaining an in-house trading desk. Adding value to investment teams through bespoke solutions is Meraki’s alpha model. Managers receive the same internal desk feel and function from traders with unrivaled Asia expertise, buy- and sell-side experience, and pedigree”, noted Kelt.

“Adding Simon is the first step towards Meraki’s overseas expansion ahead of our official launch of a Hong Kong based operation slated for later this year. Building upon the strong momentum and client adoption for our services in the Asia Pacific region, we are confident that our expansion to the region will greatly enhance the services we provide our diverse and growing client list”, said Benjamin Arnold, Founding Partner and Chief Executive Officer of Meraki. “Adding a high caliber multi-asset trader like Simon to our roster of accomplished buy- side traders is very exciting. We anticipate he will have a significant impact on our clients and the differentiated outsourced trading services we provide them.”
