hen it comes to Fund management & scalability … HFT Fails?
“HFT in my experience falls under one asset class in which you can manage some percentage of funds with higher returns then Index By Lokesh Madan.”
“HFT Return depends not only on strategies it depends upon the continuously Technology change By Lokesh Madan”.
In India I meet so many Top broker HFT Desk their return in HFT is not consistent. When they invested in High end technology & develop their own In house developed Low latency Order management engine they get more then 50% return per annual. If they constantly not changing the technology their return tempered & goes down with in range of 25 – 30%. But HFT asset class is not scalable that’s the main problem I see if you have 500 Cr of fund & want consistent 50% return using HFT strategies then it can not be possible in India at least.
If you fall under top five lowest possible latency solution with you (Under 10 Micro second Tick to Trade “Not Exchange calculation take into account”) then you get return of 80 – 100% per annual. But from last two Years that shift with in 6 months time i.e
“2013 FPGA comes into pict at NSE India by various venders but most of them falls. Currently best lowest possible Latency is still achieved by using one In house developed Software in India.”
HFT strategies have Fund deployment constraints.
