Our unrivalled presence in Asia, Africa and the Middle East and active support for the development of their equity infrastructures makes us singularly well placed to help you tap into the significant growth opportunities offered by these emerging markets. Standard Chartered Bank’s Equities capability spans across equity structuring, cash and derivatives trading and equity-linked hybrid products.
Equities Solutions
Our Equity Derivatives professionals specialise in seeking risk/return profiles for our clients. We are committed to primary Convertible Bond issuance in the Asian and Middle Eastern markets and an active market-maker for these issues. We also offer vanilla, synthetic and reverse convertibles, convertible bond asset options and a structured convertible bond solution.
You ask, we build
Whether you are a global investor or an intermediary client seeking access to Asian equity-linked investments or an Asian issuer tapping into equities markets to obtain competitive financing, Standard Chartered can help you achieve attractive yields and better manage your risk-return profile in these potentially volatile markets.
We can tailor innovative equity solutions to meet your return objectives while staying within the limits of your individual appetite for risk - whether aggressive or defensive, long or short term. This can range from capitalising on a specific market view to achieving blanket exposure to a particular market or markets.
Convertible Bonds
Standard Chartered offers a full suite of convertible bond origination, distribution and secondary trading capabilities. Our team comprises experienced professionals who can act as the bridge between issuers and the investor community.
We stand at the cross-road between a vast array of corporates with which we have built strong relationships across wide geographic locations, and dedicated convertible bond funds as well as a variety of institutional private investors to find the best solutions which meet the needs of both issuers and investors. Our teams can craft a wide variety of solutions, including public offerings, private placements and other structured transactions.
Cash Equities
The acquisition, in January 2009, of Cazenove Asia Limited further strengthens and complements our Equities capabilities with the addition of a leading institutional equity brokerage business. With sales and sales trading teams in Hong Kong, Singapore, London and New York we serve clients worldwide and deliver research on all industry sectors in Asia.
Our distribution capability allows us to deliver initial public offerings (IPOs), private placements and block trades providing liquidity for corporate and institutional clients. As a trusted and independent advisor we provide bespoke research and our platform also allows us to offer client interaction with companies across a broad geographic and sector footprint.
