What are Equities?
Equities are essentially shares, or certificates that represent a part ownership of an organisation. Equity markets provide companies with a chance to raise capital – a supervised market in which to trade securities and get access to liquidity.

Our objective is therefore simple – to provide detailed analysis and insight on companies within the marketplace, and by doing so create attractive investment opportunities for our clients.

There are two sides to the business: cash equities and equity derivatives.

Cash Equities
The Cash Equities business consists of sales and trading of European, U.S., Latin American, Asian and South African equities, serving a global investor base.

Trading the Fixed Income, Inflation and Credit Markets (Hardcover) $120.17 In this book, the authors give an applied approach to relative value techniques, showing readers how to decide on the best place to put their money in order to get the best return.  They cover multiple asset classes – fixed income, commodities and equities although the main focus is fixed income.  They cover products that are rarely documented such as CMS floaters and structured interest and credit products. The initial part of the book will consider the main derivative products and their pricing interrelationships.  It argues that within any asset class there are mathematical relationships that tie together four key building blocks: cash products, forwards / futures, swaps and options.  The nature of these interrelationships means that there may be a variety of different ways in which a particular strategy can be expressed. The second part of the book will be focused primarily on relative value within a fixed income context and will look at strategies that build on the pricing relationships between products as well as those that focus on how to identify the optimal way to express a view on the movement of the yield curve. The third part of the book will take the main themes of relative value and show how they could be applied within other asset classes.
