Discover the rates markets of tomorrow, today

There’s a pressing need for diversification in rates trading. While G10 remains a cornerstone for most, related products can be expensive – and the yield promise elsewhere is simply too big to ignore.

Emerging and frontier markets are the source of that promise. Asia, Africa and the Middle East are home to many such markets – and we’ve been operating here for decades, laying the groundwork for you. We’re also now providing offshore access to Latin American and Eastern European rates markets.
 
Yet even as these rates markets open-up, it typically remains hard to realise their potential without local market understanding. With the necessary licenses, liquidity, and knowledge of local nuances, we can be that local guide.

And uniquely for an international bank, we combine all this with G10 liquidity and experience. This also means we can export developed market innovation to create first-of-their-kind solutions in emerging and frontier markets.
