SFI re-launched in April 2003 under the sole ownership of Charles Stopford Sackville.  The company will continue to focus on its core business areas; Consultancy work and Head Hunting in the Hedge Fund world.

The background...

Co-founded in 1995 by Charles Stopford Sackville and Mark Faulkner, SFI has partnered with the worlds leading financial institutions to enhance profitability and profile through innovative business ideas and product education.

During the boom in the Securities Finance industry, SFI advised on Prime Brokerage issues for Broker Dealers, established lending operations for Beneficial Owners of stock and advised hedge funds on their borrowing and financing needs.

Where we are now...

SFI focus on the business and operational side of running a hedge fund; answering questions like:

• Am I getting a fair deal from my Service Providers?

• 'Operational efficiency' is widely talked about at the moment.  What is it and how do I get there?

• My AUM is growing slowly and my COO has decided to leave.  Will you help negotiate his settlement then find me a replacement who can lead the marketing effort?

In essence, SFI is a trouble-shooter for the hedge fund world working on issues ranging from financing to staffing, and from Prime Broker Relationships to management or shareholder fallouts.  Such assignments put SFI at the centre of the debate on the future of the industry and make the company a hub of market information.
