Our paths and rules unite the whole fund in a dynamic and powerful combination.
Bring your complex Excel calculations into LemonEdge
Algorithms is our proprietary spreadsheet technology, which eliminates the need to create high-risk offline Excel processes. Reduce your data security, audit compliance and workflow headaches by bringing all your existing Excel calculations into Algorithms. Work with real-time data from your LemonEdge database, undertake those same calculations, then securely and automatically save the results all within the confines of the system. Use cases range from managing Carry, Management Fees and Hedging calculations to complex performance calculations and reconciliations.
