Coverage and expertise

Public institutional markets

Rates, macro, cross-asset, and market structure — twenty years in the middle of the mechanics that make modern capital markets work. The expansion of leveraged players pricing relative value in the UST basis trade; the plumbing of the financial system and the repo markets that underpin it; the pricing of risk (building proprietary curves and pricers when the platforms couldn't); and the multi-decade expansion of sovereign balance sheets, with the accompanying derivatisation of products and asset classes.

Selected mandates and franchises across the career: launching the Barclays ETF platform in Latin America; work around India's inclusion in emerging-market indices (Rajan); local capital-market deepening in Slovakia; qualified-purchaser and interest-rate-product structuring; tail-risk hedging and risk-premium work for a large central bank; capital-markets education programmes in Indonesia; pricing the Lehman collateral packages during the crisis; opening representative offices for SAFE in London and the SNB in Singapore; benchmark US Treasury coverage; the BNY Mellon transition desk mandate; and PIMCO coverage.
