Derivatives Execution

Pricing a derivative correctly to see if the rate offered is reasonable when compared with the mid-market rate is possible, but is an extremely complicated and time consuming exercise with a large margin for error. Without access to specialist knowledge combined with sophisticated and up to date pricing models and real time market information, it is near impossible to judge the reasonableness of a quote which contains any 'non-vanilla' complexities.

TradeRisks has an unparalleled derivative pricing capability and a proven track record with its clients, which has saved them tens of millions of pounds in execution costs alone. Our many years in derivatives structuring and execution enables us to very quickly understand and model highly complex derivatives structures, and to determine the key value drivers of transactions for our clients.

TradeRisks advised on and executed (or unwound) around £3.5bn derivatives on behalf of its clients during the last 3 years. We have transacted swaps across the entire curve, i.e. 1-40 years. These have included Bermudan cancellable interest rate swaps, structured inflation swaps and other complex structured derivatives.
