However, I am having a big problem getting Tudor and like funds up and running on EOL- Problems: #1: Credit- major back-log on new names - we don't have enough resources to deal with these names (the structures of the funds can be complex- not like dealing with industrials). #2: With those that we have docs, credit has said we can not trade on-line. (???) The only differences I see with funds trading online is that their trades need to go to credit's (Bill Bradford's group) to be included in daily MTM and 5 day VAR reports. We calculate variation margin off these reports so its essential credit gets the trades... AND In the case of Tudor, they allocate trades between funds- the EOL trades would need to go to me or the backoffice, so we could allocate them. I think the EOL reporting issues can easily be resolved- the credit back log is the real killer at the moment.
