Legacy System Challenges
Before Enfusion by CWAN, Ten Cap faced fragmented data across platforms, hindering accurate reporting and compliance management. The lack of unified trade execution and portfolio management capabilities limited the team’s ability to operate efficiently.
Solution Selection and Implementation
Ten Cap chose Enfusion to meet its operational needs, gaining:
Faster Execution, Tighter Compliance
Enfusion’s platform provided real-time trade matching and automated pre-trade compliance checks, ensuring Ten Cap stays ahead of regulatory demands.
“We’ve integrated detailed pre-compliance rules into the platform,” states Craig Morton, Chief Operating Officer at Ten Cap. “Traders receive alerts for restricted securities and internal limit breaches, ensuring oversight for every trade.”

“We discover new features every month. Automating most tasks has saved us time and resources,” said Craig Morton.
“Ten Cap’s transformation shows how hedge funds can quickly move from operational problems to competitive advantage, focusing on investments while technology handles back-office work. This partnership reflects how firms are adopting integrated platforms to streamline operations and strengthen compliance, setting Ten Cap up for continued growth.”
