C8 Technologies Expands into the US with New Tools and Team

November 1, 2022

Craig Cmiel, Chris McHeffey, Arun Kaul and Diederik Hooijkaas join C8´s investor client team to grow coverage in the US. They join Scott Douglass and Mark Curtis, who have established a home base in the US over the last year.

Cmiel, McHeffey, and Kaul each bring 30 years of industry experience. The US team has extensive experience building asset management solutions, working closely with money managers, and specializing in a broad spectrum of financial products, including Fixed-Income, ETFs, Mutual Funds, and Alternative Investments.

Cmiel said, “C8 technology is innovative, is the future of UMA, and much more advanced than what advisors are using now for Direct Index solutions.”

Diederik Hooijkaas supports the US Team and clients as a lead analyst supporting index and portfolio solutions. Mark Curtis continues to lead the effort with institutional and product solutions for US customers, and Scott Douglass, in the COO role, brings the power of a global firm into the US business.

Mattias Eriksson, Co-Founder and CEO of C8 Technologies, said: “We believe that the C8 fintech platform can support RIAs and wealth managers and their clients with unique state-of-the-art solutions. The US market is vital for C8, so it is exciting to extend our US team with Craig, Chris, Arun and Diederik. They all are very seasoned and will provide complimentary knowledge to the C8 family.”

 

C8 is not a registered advisor but rather a tech platform that supports advisors with new and innovative tools.

C8 Hedge – Currency Compass – Manage Currency Balances with C8 Hedge – June 2025

BY JON WEBB
All corporates and asset managers hold cash balances, to cover upcoming outgoings and, in reserve, an excess balance, for example, in case of fund redemption.  A corporate or asset manager will build excess balances as they randomly accrue in various currency accounts, we propose managing these cash balances in a more systematic way. As regular readers will know, C8 Hedge is designed to add value to the FX hedging process by modelling key drivers of FX markets: fundamental, trend, carry and value.  Importantly, these key drivers can be just as easily used to optimise cash balances. Hold excess cash in currencies that are likely to appreciate on a total return basis (combining spot movement and interest carry). Read more →

Thoughts From The Divide: The Harvest

BY JON WEBB
Even in times of turmoil (see President Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Day Proclamation), fall is a time to give thanks. And what should we be more thankful for than the gift of shopping? Retail sales reflected “continued resilience in the American consumer” and one might think recent Fed surveys are indicative of a new sense of optimism? The Empire Fed Manufacturing Survey’s headline index “shot up forty-three points to 31.2, its highest reading in nearly three years, and the six-month outlook showed that “firms remained optimistic about future conditions”. The Philadelphia Fed survey was not quite as ebullient in its reading of the current environment, the headline index dropping from 10.3 to -5.5 (a section headline drily noting “Most Current Indicators Soften”), but, on balance, the sense of optimism was palpable and mirrored the Empire Fed, (“Most Future Indicators Rise”) with the future activity jumping “from 36.7 to 56.6 in November, its highest level since June 2021”.
