Case Study: Large Hedge Fund Financial Company achieves $1.4M annual savings with Hazeltree Treasury Management

Large Hedge Fund Financial Company - Customer Case Study

Large Hedge Fund Financial Company, a $28 billion multi-strategy hedge fund with 11 prime broker relationships and more than 110 OTC/repo/futures agreements, was struggling to manage cash and collateral across a complex global operation. Its treasury team relied on manual spreadsheets and non-daily monitoring, leading to cash slippage, inconsistent collateral processing across 100+ counterparties, and rising operational and liquidity risk. Hazeltree’s treasury management tools, including Cash Manager and Collateral Manager, were implemented to address these issues.

Hazeltree integrated its solution with the firm’s existing systems to provide centralized visibility into cash balances, automate collateral workflows, validate margin calculations, and improve cash optimization. The results included eliminating funding slippage, saving approximately $1.4 million annually, reducing collateral-management workload by more than 0.5 FTE, and freeing up capital by disputing about 50% of daily margin calls and recalling roughly 70% of overcollateralized margin. Hazeltree helped turn treasury into a more scalable, controlled, and strategic function.
