FOUR WAYS WE BELIEVE OUR APPROACH TO TRADING IS DIFFERENT

Featured video: Hear from our Global Trading professionals to learn more about this function.

Lisa Lynch

We have a team of PhDs who spend their day analysing investor behaviour before, during and after the trade. We share this data with portfolio managers and traders to help them retain alpha. One of our equity PMs, for example, has been able to reduce trading costs by trading smaller blocks over a longer period to minimise market impact.

Lisa Mahon Lynch, Associate Director, Trading and Market Strategies
Masaya Okoshi

We treat dealers as partners, not as enemies. Why is this important? Because dealers can no longer warehouse risk like they used to, so they rely on us for liquidity as much as we rely on them. During periods of market volatility, that is very important.

Masaya Okoshi, Investment-Grade Bond Trader

Ted Duffy

We don't have proprietary trading, firm positions or other distractions. We are fiduciaries with a 100% client focus.

Ted Duffy, Director, Fixed Income Trading
