common questions
Q.What IT support do private equity and hedge fund firms in London need?
London PE and hedge fund firms require premium IT matched to their operational standards — fast, discrete, and highly secure. Key requirements: FCA SYSC-compliant IT controls, encrypted communications and MiFID II compliant record-keeping, Bloomberg and Refinitiv Eikon platform support, secure deal room infrastructure for M&A transactions, City-grade cyber security preventing data exfiltration, and priority response SLAs. Many City investment firms also need Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 alignment for LP due diligence questionnaires.
Q.Do London PE and hedge fund firms need to meet FCA IT requirements?
Yes. FCA-regulated investment management firms face specific IT obligations under SYSC rules: operational resilience (including IT), MiFID II electronic communication archiving, data governance for personal and confidential market information, and documented cyber security controls. The FCA's operational resilience rules (in force from March 2025) require investment firms to map their important business services and ensure IT can withstand disruptions. Coreitech helps London investment firms implement and document the required IT controls.
Q.Can you support Bloomberg Terminal and Refinitiv Eikon in our London office?
Yes. Coreitech manages the desktop infrastructure, network configuration, and connectivity that Bloomberg Terminal and Refinitiv Eikon depend on in London offices. We handle terminal provisioning, screen configuration, network port requirements (Bloomberg requires specific firewall configurations), and fast resolution of platform issues that directly impact investment workflows. We liaise with Bloomberg and LSEG/Refinitiv technical teams on behalf of our clients.
Q.How do you secure M&A deal rooms for London investment firms?
M&A transactions involve highly sensitive information — target financials, deal structures, investor lists, and portfolio company data. We implement: secure virtual data room solutions integrated with platforms like Datasite and Intralinks, conditional access controls ensuring only authorised users access specific deal data, comprehensive audit trails for regulatory and compliance purposes, encrypted communications for deal teams, and access revocation procedures when advisors are rotated off transactions.
