Walleye’s robust and dynamic platform is key to maximizing the success of our experienced investment professionals.
Platform sophistication is arguably the most critical component of what sets apart the best multi-strategy hedge funds from the rest of the pack. Walleye was built to power what is widely regarded as the most complex investment strategy from a technology and infrastructure perspective – options market making. While our platform continues to evolve daily, the core components that have powered the firm since 2005 have enabled our leaders to push the boundaries of what is possible from an investment perspective.
We strive every day to maximize the quality of our central teams to deliver our investment talent the requisite tools to compete in an industry that continues to get more competitive.
Walleye is among the most technologically sophisticated firms in the investment space.
The need to manage all asset classes globally while still maintaining cutting edge functionality drove us to build a unique technology platform that permeates all facets of our business. Today, our technology seamlessly integrates data across:
Exchanges
Trades in LTM
Countries
Underlying Holdings
Execution Brokers
Rules-Based Processes
Flexible Data Management Technology
Experienced Leaders
We take a sensible, intellectually honest approach to risk management.
While well-defined risk corridors are critical in our business, there is no such thing as a “one-size fits all” risk model. Each strategy requires customization as both the way in which the PM makes money and therefore the risks they are taking can change drastically relative to each other.
In addition to a team of generalists, the Risk Team has increasingly employed asset class specialists. The complexity of the modern market requires real expertise, from both an investment and risk perspective. These team members work closely with our strategy group heads and portfolio managers, helping to create customized risk monitoring screens that are particularly germane to the market in which they trade.
Our technology allows our Risk Team to implement a systematically driven, process-oriented framework aiming to maintain and enforce critical strategy-level and fund-level criteria. Understanding what risks we’re taking across a portfolio of multiple asset classes, geographies, and ultimately thousands of individual positions is a non-trivial exercise, but something we consider imperative to the running of a multi-strategy hedge fund.
Deephaven Data Labs, our custom-built database engine, was originally created at Walleye to accommodate the enormous data challenges posed by modern equity options market making.
Today it is a true data software leader, serving major financial services institutions among its clients.
Our advanced multi-strategy platform and the complex set of investment strategies running on it require a sophisticated and adaptable compliance framework permeating across all parts of our business.
Our global compliance program is responsive to the challenges of a dynamic business. Through strong partnerships across all teams, and best practices in design and implementation, we seek to exemplify the highest legal and ethical standards of conduct.

Under Rule 2.2.3R of the Financial Conduct Authority’s Conduct of Business Sourcebook, Walleye Capital UK Limited (“WCUK”) is required to disclose the nature of its commitment to the UK Financial Reporting Council’s Stewardship Code (“the Code”) or, where it does not commit to the Code, to explain its approach. The Code is voluntary, and sets out a number of principles relating to engagement with UK listed companies. WCUK principally provides portfolio management and ancillary services across a number of asset classes and markets, following a number of diversified strategies. As a result, much of its investment activity relates to assets other than UK listed equities, and for the portion of investment focused on equities, exposure may not be taken directly. As such, opportunities for engagement with UK listed companies is limited, and the provisions of the Code are not viewed as materially relevant to WCUK’s investment strategy. Therefore, WCUK has chosen not to commit to the Code at this time.
Under Rule 2.2B.5.R of the Financial Conduct Authority’s Conduct of Business Sourcebook, Walleye Capital UK Limited (“WCUK”) is required to disclose whether it has an engagement policy in relation to issuers of investments traded on a regulated market or comparable overseas markets, or, where it does not comply with such requirements, to disclose why it has chosen not to do so. WCUK has chosen not to have an engagement policy for the reasons described. WCUK’s investment strategies covers a variety of asset classes and markets globally, including volatility, fundamental equities, quant and tactical strategies. For the portion of investments focused on equities, exposure is not typically taken on an activist investor basis. Therefore, an engagement policy has limited applicability to WCUK’s investment strategy given the limited opportunity to exercise stewardship. Were stewardship issues to arise, WCUK would take a consistent approach to engagement with issues and their management in all jurisdictions it invests, and in that regard, WCUK has policy on proxy voting. WCUK will keep this approach under periodic review.
