Following the Financial Market collapse over a decade ago, Banks sharply cut back on the availability of credit lines as Regulators forced them to hold more capital. Simultaneously, Governments increased their borrowing to shore up the surviving Banks. This was the opportunity for the Bond Markets to step in and become the provider of choice going forward to meet the Debt funding requirements of both Corporates, Supranationals & Sovereigns alike. Therefore it is imperative that these markets are properly understood by Issuers, Investors, Intermediaries, Regulators & Fund Administrators.

Understanding the Equity Markets.
The Equity Markets provide a venue for Corporates to list their shares, raise money & also offer Investors the opportunity to trade &/or Invest in already listed Companies. The function of these Markets is price discovery which is more readily achieved by high levels of participation, ranging from professional Institutional Investors all the way down to Retail Investors.

The management of expectation is almost as important as the management of Client funds. What matters is defining ‘Performance’. Understanding the full universe of Investable opportunities is what matters, and appreciating the importance of the Correlations between them to minimize risk and meet Client objectives. Risk management involves defining what level of risk is deemed acceptable, and then striving to target those appropriate levels. However, Risk cannot be managed easily unless it can be measured. There is no silver bullet out there for this task, but a range of tools to be employed where appropriate.
