About Us

As your firm grows, your needs change and evolve. What may have started out a few years ago as a boutique fund may now have become a thriving investment management business with global interests, complex product sets and investors that have high expectations of performance and operations. Selecting and implementing the appropriate technology to help your firm stay compliant and scale may seem like a daunting task. This is where Gravitas can help. We provide alternative investment management firms with dedicated teams of experienced technologists in a white-glove, holistic service that guarantees the most innovative, cost-effective solutions available.

Team

For many alternative investment firms, hiring an entire IT staff systems analysts, architects, software developers and integrators is not practical for both cost and logistical reasons. Gravitas provides an alternative: A carefully selected team of strategists and practitioners that can assess and implement solutions as well as upgrade, modify, remediate and support existing systems.

Our people bring deep domain experience in the hedge fund, prime brokerage and fund administration businesses. Because weve assessed and implemented technology in hundreds of projects, we have no learning curve, and can offer your firm the best-of-breed tools, architectures and approaches, saving time and money. Our customized, attentive client service ensures that every member of your dedicated team from Client Service Manager to tactician is focused on your priorities, business needs and timelines.

Innovation

Gravitas Technology is as much about ideas as we are about implementation. Our people have relationships in every aspect of the alternative investment industry, from service providers to software vendors, and we are keenly aware of the industry trends that affect your business and the best practices needed to drive success. Our ideas and unique perspective allow us to provide you with long-term solutions and approaches, so you can spend more time investing and less time worrying about operations.

When you become a Gravitas client, you also gain access to an elite group of thinkers and industry trend-setters among your peer group. Every quarter, we hold private CIO/CTO luncheons, where we discuss timely topics with a panel of industry guests. Clients are also invited to our annual Tech Trends cocktail evening each October, where we discuss pressing issues and trends facing the alternative asset management industry.

Service

At Gravitas Technology, our mission is to ensure transparent technology for outstanding performance. We put the interest of the client first and value integrity and teamwork, which forms the basis of our service philosophy.

As part of our account value management process, we work closely with our clients to determine their annual IT budgets and Gravitas Value Action Plans. This planning and openness at the account level ensure that our consulting and implementation work is conducted on time and on schedule. Throughout the year, Gravitas also provides delivery scorecards to measure key performance indicators, encouraging ongoing dialogue about the clients IT goals and direction.

Gravitas bases its service on a variable cost model, which means you can adjust your level of service as required by your IT needs, projects and support. Our white-glove approach means you get customized access to the best minds and talent in the industry; the variable cost model allows you to scale and refine your business cost-effectively, for today and into the future.
