Issue 26 of our e-mag is out now and ready to download.

The new issue is once again packed with news, product launches, and people moves from the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe.

In this edition, we look back at the inaugural SRP Belgium Forum 2023, and profile Jacob Ayres-Thomson and Hassan Salamony, co-founders of machine learning company 3AI.

There are Q&A’s with Volodymyr Gubskyi, CEO of IVM Markets whose AI Saas Structured Product Suite aims to shift the power dynamic between issuers and distributors, while QuantCube’s CEO Thanh-Long Huynh talks about his fascination with extracting value from market prices by using statistical arbitrage.

Caroline Mauron co-founder and CEO at OrBit Markets explains why the potential for crypto-linked securitised products is significant, and in our buyside view, Michelangelo Dooley of US advisory firm NewEdge – which is implementing a new approach to investing in structured notes – sees that most structured notes are primarily consumed by financial advisors as opposed to retail clients.

We also highlight the latest developments in digital assets from across the globe while in this month’s market analysis, FVC’s Suzi Hampson uses the StructrPro lifecycle management tool to look at structured products in the US market linked to underlyings that have exhibited poor performance during 2023. The conclusion: the risk of highly volatile underlyings cannot be underestimated.

Suzi’s colleague Tim Mortimer further delphs into StructrPro by analysing the US structured product market performance in 2023. Using calculation techniques developed by FVC some years ago for the UK market, the provision of structured product market indices shows the performance of US structured product market on a continuous basis by considering the universe of products issued into the market as a pipeline of investments that define a very large portfolio.
