Risk and Cost Minimization

Monitor expenses throughout the event through using our detailed cost analysis reports. Our experience in trading multiple asset classes will help you minimize the effects of:

• Exposure risk – by preventing incorrect asset classes or unwanted cash exposure
• Execution risk – associated with transacting in the market, for example, through information leakage or counterparty risk
• Operational risk – by assigning a portfolio manager to each milestone event, we anticipate and manage risks inherent with portfolio set-up, settlement and coordination of all parties
• Process risk – by ensuring accountability with a clearly defined project management process
