Our CustomersProviding Financial Solutions to Wholesale End Users

We deal with commercial counter-parties who are end-users of our financial products and services – have very few hedge fund or speculative clients.

Our clients perceive us as a financial service provider, not just an execution intermediary.

We are relationship driven, not necessarily price driven.

We count some of the largest banks, governmental agencies, corporations and NGOs in the world amongst our clients. While in certain cases we may service them in a limited capacity we solve a disproportionate share of their “headaches”.
