Managing cash in a crisis - lessons from 2008

In 2008, my partners and I were managing fixed income portfolios in a hedge fund. It was a fascinating time to have a front row seat to financial markets and, to a large extent, that period shaped the way that we have thought about the world and built our businesses ever since.

A Safe Haven through the Storm

Monday Meltdown. This week we are looking to keep our message brief. The primary concern in the market is no longer return on capital, rather the return OF capital. TreasurySpring FTFs offer direct access to the lowest-risk store of value in the market through its sovereign and bank secured FTFs.

8th January Market Commentary

Financial markets ended the year in relative calm, with the Fed carefully managing the volatility often associated with the season.

Merry Christmas! 2019 in Review

As the year draws to a close, it is naturally a period for reflection. 2019 has, for a plethora of reasons, been nothing short of stellar. Many global equity indices have broken through ceilings, posting record highs. Investors also appear to be more concerned than ever with ethical asset allocation, hardly a day has gone by this year that one does not hear or see the letters ESG...

Treasury Today: A new alternative to bank deposits and MMFs

The short-term space for corporate treasurers is quite limited; the effort required to move beyond bank deposits and MMFs sees to that. But a new platform aims to bring a few more colours to the palette.

I remember the first time that I ever came across the term “repo” in the context of finance. It was 2006 and I was structuring a lending transaction for the hedge fund I was working for, when one of our lawyers suggested that we “do it as a repo”. I had no idea what he was talking about and my mind drifted to thoughts of property repossession and Emilio Estevez.

29th October Market Commentary

Plenty to talk about since our last piece, although for the UK readership sadly still no sign of a solution one way or the other to the referendum held a staggering three years and four months ago - hot off the press is that Labour is now backing an early election which may finally at least start us on a (long and winding) path towards closure...

9th July Market Commentary

Since our last distribution Central Bank independence has been a hot topic (potato). In the US, the President has for some time now been pressing the Federal Reserve to change the tone, cut rates and by doing so further stimulate what has been one of the longest bull runs in history.
