Risk Solutions

Our risk experts offer strategic advice to clients on how to execute capital markets transactions in a way that allows them to manage their risks effectively.

The first stage is to understand the strategic goals of each client, their capital structure and risk management priorities.

For example, we can help clients to minimise the impact of volatile equity markets during a lengthy rights issue process. Alternatively, we can use plain vanilla and tailor-made equity derivatives solutions to help support asset values, enhance returns or increase borrowing capacity.

We also hedge against the exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, inflation, commodity prices or credit default risk.

Our risk specialists work closely with the capital markets team to select the most appropriate strategy and transaction structure from a full range of capital markets products and ensure that deals are executed smoothly.

 Through constant innovation, we are able to develop bespoke solutions for clients that are cost effective, drawing on our expertise in capital markets, equities and fixed-income, derivatives and structured finance.
