TradeRisks expands its transaction and advisory teams
TradeRisks is pleased to announce the appointment of two experienced professionals across a range of disciplines as part of the firm’s continued growth in its capital markets and advisory offering, and expanding its proprietary derivatives platform, TRLX (formerly known as TRL Exchange and OTC Exchange), also as a capital markets funding interface.
“Many of our clients are turning to the capital markets as a source of long term funding. The expansion of our team with experienced capital markets professionals further enhances our ability to structure solutions which are optimal for all parties, and increases participation by long-term investors in end-user to end-user markets” said Alex Pilato, Chief Executive of TradeRisks.
“We see significant future growth in the use of capital market instruments to fund or refinance infrastructure assets in the UK and Europe and TradeRisks is optimally placed to leverage this trend. As part of this development, we believe that TRLX can provide a level playing field for bond investors of all sizes through the use of high-quality, standardised disclosure to facilitate the risk assessment and pricing of these traditionally illiquid assets.”
