  • Welcome to Decoding Derivatives, our blog discussing notable events, strategies, and developments in the credit and derivatives markets.

    Our advisory work on behalf of the largest and most sophisticated credit investors has put us at the forefront of opportunistic fixed income and credit strategies, with a particular focus on those strategies involving a derivatives or synthetic component. Our involvement with innovative and market-changing transactions enables us to detect trading motivations in real time and identify new trends based on market information we gather in the credit markets over time.

    In a complex market often plagued with information overload, Decoding Derivatives serves as a digestible touch point, highlighting key market developments and considerations affecting trading strategies that we see as most relevant for investors in the credit and derivatives markets.

    We hope you enjoy our blog, and we would welcome input on the issues you are most concerned about.
