In the derivatives and structured products area, as in most others, we are judged by the quality of our solutions: do we craft solutions that are practical and effective? And, just as important, can we do so quickly?

We function as our clients’ partners in designing new products, assisting in concept development, providing risk and regulatory analysis, and preparing documentation.

Our clients include the derivatives, commodities and structured products groups at numerous investment and commercial banks, commodity dealers and users, insurance companies, mutual funds, hedge funds and other financial institutions, and public companies and holders of restricted equity securities.

• Derivatives-linked securities;
• Equity and credit derivatives;
• Fund-linked derivatives;
• Commodity-linked derivatives;
• CPPI products;
• Energy, metals and foreign exchange derivatives;
• Fixed income derivatives;
• Derivatives for insurance companies and others in the risk transfer markets;
• Hybrids and other exotic derivatives;
• Traded indices;
• Products designed to capture tax, accounting, credit rating, or other regulatory advantages; and
