It has been quiet on the HedgeCo Websites Blog over the last year. We apologize for the silence, but we have all been working hard on the latest and greatest version of the HedgeCo Hedge Fund website platform.Some of the new featuers of Version 3 of the HedgeCo Website Platform are:

Multiple Fund Aware: The new version of the platform has built in support for multiple hedge funds. This means that when you add a new Fund to your product our team can have it enabled the same day.

Fund type categorization: As part of the multiple fund functionality, funds can be categorized based on type (master, feeder, currency class, manager previous track record, etc.)

New Graphs: Risk / Return Graphs, Performance during up/down index months, distribution of returns, and more.

Multiple Benchmark handling.

Email your investors using powerful templates.

New quantitative and return statistics

Permission based access settings.

This new version has already been implemented on dozens of sites ranging from Fund of Funds to CTA funds and more.

To help handle the growing needs of the HedgeCo Website support team we have implemented a ticket system which we will be using from now on to coordinate our support efforts. After evaluating our needs we selected excellent theSupportSuite product from Kayako systems, using this excellent product will enable us to handle your needs faster and more efficiently than before and will expand with our quickly growing needs.

While this new system brings a lot of power to the HedgeCo Website support team, as a client the system is very easy to use, in fact you can use it directly from your email client.

The following steps take you through the process of creating a “ticket” and using our new support system

EzSystems released the first release candiate for the 3.9 series of their award winning content management system. This release features a wealth of valuable features, many of which were requested and implemented by the eZpublish community.

Also included is a fantastic new default theme (shown on the right), and a nice standard website package which is available during the installation which makes setting up a simple site using eZpublish that much simpler.
